Since its inception in the late 1600s,
the minute repeating mechanism has
captivated watchmakers and collectors
alike, with each firm striving to create the
most beautiful, clear, and varying tones
of chimes.
After ceasing production of reference
5074J around 2006, Patek Philippe
released reference 5074P at Basel in 2009
due to popular demand for the model.
Platinum is arguably the most coveted
of all case metals, and when coupled
with the superior chimes of the cathedral
repeating mechanism, really makes this
wristwatch a pièce de resistance in Patek
Philippe’s repertoire.
Assembling a minute repeater typically
requires 200 to 300 hours of work, and
the cathedral gongs display a rich, deep
yet delicate resonance that Patek Philippe
is best known for. To date, approximately
3 examples cased in platinum have
appeared on the market.
