The ref. 5004 stands among the most important complicated Patek Philippe wristwatches of the modern era. Introduced in 1994 and produced until 2009, the ref. 5004 built upon the legendary lineage of Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronographs while adding one of the most technically demanding complications in watchmaking: the split-seconds chronograph.
The ref. 5004P-033 is especially compelling in platinum, the metal most associated with top-tier Patek Philippe complicated watches. Measuring 36.7 mm diameter, it balances extraordinary mechanical sophistication with restrained, classical proportions. The Lemania-based caliber CHR 27-70 Q combines a perpetual calendar, moon phases, chronograph, and rattrapante function in a movement that remains one of the defining complicated calibers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
This example is double sealed, preserved in its original Patek Philippe factory packaging and accompanied by its Certificate of Origin and presentation materials. This watch is untouched, complete, and preserved as originally delivered. It is one of two examples of a 5004P with this dial configuration that is factory double sealed known to exist.
As the ref. 5004 brings increasingly impressive prices in all configurations on the market today, it is becoming a global treasure hunt to acquire these modern masterpieces while there is still a small window of acquisition remaining. If you want to buy the best condition and one of the rarest configurations, this watch is for you.
