Manufacturer: Patek Philippe Year: Circa 2012 Reference No: 5074R Material: 18K pink gold Calibre: Automatic, cal. R27 Q, 39 jewels Bracelet/Strap: Alligator Clasp/Buckle: 18K pink gold Patek Philippe deployant clasp Dimensions: 42mm Diameter Signed: Case, dial, movement, and clasp signed. Accessories: With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated March 14, 2012 signed by the Patek Philippe Salon, Geneva, 18K pink gold solid caseback, 18K pink gold setting pin, hang tag, fitted wooden presentation box, leather portfolio with glossy photograph, product literature, and outer packaging. Catalogue Essay Big, bold, and an aesthetic delight, the reference 5074 is one of the most important grand complication timepieces made by Patek Philippe, and a watch sure to attract all enthusiasts. The large 42mm diameter case with its wide, stepped bezel is reminiscent of the brand’s modern chronograph timepiece, the reference 5070. It has a masculine aesthetic that is both contemporary and sporty, and its oversized diameter is purely functional as it permits the use of cathedral gongs for the minute repeating complication. Furthermore incorporating a perpetual calendar with moon phase, the cathedral gongs were created from a special alloy, and each wrap around the movement one and three-quarter times. The resulting sound reverberates for an extended period of time, much like the sound of bells being struck inside a cathedral. Patek Philippe released the reference 5074 in yellow gold in 2001, replacing it with the pink gold model in 2005, and the platinum edition was introduced in 2009. It is a 21st century take on the grand watches of the mid-20th century golden age of horology. The watch is a superb blend of vintage and modern, with a large, modern case design fitted with a classically styled dial inspired by the brand’s iconic, historic perpetual calendars. The charismatic case, housing the automatic caliber R 27 Q, also features stylish nods to the past with its downturned fluted lugs that resemble those of the reference 2499. In near new condition and fresh to the market from the original owner, this reference 5074 is a collector’s dream. Offered complete with its original certificate, literature, and presentation box, the present watch is an exceptional example that delivers a breathtaking acoustic experience.
