Lot Essay

Reference 5059, introduced into the market in 1998, possesses an intriguing complication: a retrograde date display. The date is indicated by a hand progressing along a 240 arc located within the hour scale between 8 and 4 o'clock. Around midnight on the last day of each month, be it the 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st, the hand automatically jumps back to the 1st. Reference 5059 was discontinued in 2006 and replaced by reference 5159.

To the best of our knowledge, this watch is fresh to the market.

For another example of the Reference 5059 in yellow gold, please see Lot 2668 in this sale.
