Description

The present reference is the Patek Philippe Grand Complications ref. 5004P-032, an extraordinarily rare and highly important perpetual calendar split-seconds chronograph cased in platinum, preserved in pristine single-sealed condition. Produced circa 2010, only a handful of examples were made, making this reference exceptionally sought after by collectors.

Widely regarded as one of the pinnacle achievements in traditional watchmaking, the reference 5004 unites a perpetual calendar with a split-seconds chronograph, along with moon-phase, 24-hour, and leap-year indications.

Housed in a classic 37 mm platinum case, the watch features a deep black dial accented by seven baguette-cut diamond hour markers. Its balanced arrangement of sub-dials and polished hands provides excellent legibility despite the complexity of its functions.

This exceptionally scarce platinum ref. 5004P-032 represents a remarkable achievement in high horology and a true collector’s trophy.
