Description

The first perpetual calendar wristwatch with a split-second / rattrapante chronograph (reference 5004) was made by Patek Philippe in 1995, with a total production of a few hundred pieces only before it was discontinued in 2011. As the ‘end of production’ edition, 50 pieces in steel were made and sold exclusively through the Geneva Salon to a selected list of the brand’s loyalists. And then came the 5004T piece unique made in titanium for Only Watch 2013, which was hammered for a staggering 3 million Euros contributing close to two-third of the overall proceeds.
In 2012, Patek Philippe replaced reference 5004 with the new, slightly slimmer reference 5204 with a few technical enhancements.
And then in 2017, Patek Philippe wooed the world with the launch of the beautiful reference 5372P with two dial different dials, featuring the incredible Calibre CHR 27-525 PS with a perpetual calendar module. This is one of the most inaccessible watches made by the brand. 

The present reference 5372P-010 is one such rare piece of beauty encased in a supremely elegant 38.3mm platinum case, featuring a perpetual calendar, displaying the day, date, month, leap year, day/night and moonphase indicators, and a monopusher chronograph with split-second function, all laid out neatly on an incredibly gorgeous 18K rose gold dial that is vertical satin-finished, with blackened engravings making all the functions of this grand complication extremely legible.

On the inside side is the technically brilliant Calibre CHR 27-525 PS Q which bears the Patek Philippe Seal, ensuring the highest level of quality, precision and finish. It is a piece of mechanical art so beautiful, that one would want to wear it flipside up.
This rarity is offered on a hand-stitched, glossy chocolate brown alligator strap, with a deployant clasp in platinum.
Our watch is brand new and comes as a full original set including solid case back.
