The reference 5204 was initially released at the Basel show in 2012 in platinum version and powered by the highly complicated movement 29-535 PS Q, the very first in house movement fully developed by Patek Philippe which replaces the Lemania based 27-70 Q. The platinum version was discontinued in 2018.
As the successor to the legendary 5004, the 5204 features a day/night indication instead of a 24-hour hand display. Made in a 40mm. case, the watch appears massive compared to the 36.7 mm. reference 5004 to keep with the modern trend. Numerous design improvements were made to the dial giving it an overall cleaner look and assisting in readability.
The Patek Philippe reference 5204 was released in the rose gold case at Baselworld 2016, expanding the firm’s offering of the reference from just platinum when first debuted.
