Catalogue EssayMade to commemorate the re-opening of the Patek Philippe boutique in Geneva in 2006, reference 5565 is most notably cased in stainless steel. It furthermore displays a special engraving on the caseback “Patek Philippe Geneve 1839-1982-2006”, marking three important dates within the history of Patek Philippe. Inspired by the reference 565, it recalls the iconic vintage water-resistant model while appearing incredibly modern with its stainless steel case and luminous hands. Fitted with the caliber 215 PS, it perfectly exemplifies the know-how and finesse for which the Genevan brand is best-known. The reference was made in 300 pieces, and was launched alongside reference 5105, which was fitted with a vintage cal. 9'''90 movement. Both models were exclusively available only through the Geneva salon, and are particularly collectible among Patek Philippe enthusiasts today. The present watch is preserved in excellent condition and is accompanied by its Patek Philippe Attestation dated December 30, 2006, commemorative medal, product literature leather wallet and presentation box.Read MoreMaker BiographyPatek PhilippeSwiss • 1839 Follow Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications.
