Catalogue Essay Throughout its long and prestigious history, Patek Philippe has been associated with quality workmanship and innovative movements. Their early pocket watches were often engraved with intricate designs adding elegance and grace, occupying the highest echelons in terms of quality. While the craftsman capable of such intricate work are slowly disappearing, Patek Philippe continues to employ skilled artisans keeping the tradition alive. The reference 5160 is a modern perpetual calendar wristwatch steeped in the firm’s past. The “Officier”-style case is reminiscent of watches from the early 20th century with its hinged case back, and the engraved arabesque motif is artful and similar to Belle Époque motifs of the late 19th century. Fresh to the market from the original owner and complete with certificate of origin and presentation winding box, this reference 5160 is in pristine condition and appears to have been worn only a handful of times. The successor to the reference 5159, the present watch stands out for its exquisitely hand engraved case adorning all visible, exterior surfaces. The dial features an engraved center matching the abstract floral design of the case engraving and is highlighted by the retrograde date sector, while the classic Roman numerals provide a classic look. Released in 2010 and produced in yellow, pink and white gold, it is believed that only a few dozen of each metal will be made. Now discontinued in yellow gold, today only the white gold model is still available from the brand. This watch is a true heritage timepiece, with its superbly engraved case and retrograde perpetual calendar complication, it is an homage to both artistic craftsmanship and modern horology.
