HK_WATCHES_MAY16_478-509.indd 486 Reference 5004 was first introduced in 1996, and was Patek Philippe’s first split-seconds perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch that was produced in a series. This example is preserved in excellent condition. The dial is in immaculate condition, and the watch still retains all original accessories, including an extra platinum deployant clasp. Discontinued in 2012, reference 5004 is among Patek Philippe’s most important wristwatches to date. Most notably, it was the only split-seconds perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch that Patek Philippe produced using a Lemania based movement, before the firm switched to using an in-house movement. This has increased the rarity and popularity of the reference, which this model continues to enjoy today. The present lot is fresh to the market and is in exceptional condition. 03/05/16 16:10
