Launched in 1998, Patek Philippe Reference 5059G is a classically sized wristwatch in a seldom seen Officer’s Style case. The impressive and vintage-inspired timepiece manages to fit a perpetual calendar, moon phases, and retrograde into a 36mm case. The watch is functional and beautiful by allowing the case back to be opened to unveil inhouse Caliber 315 S-QR, while having the additional protection and value of a solid gold back. Classical and vintage wristwatch motifs are evident in the 18k white gold screwed lugs and white Roman dial. Reference 5059G-001 presents an excellent value from a premier manufacturer through its use of a complicated movement, 18k white gold officer’s case, and classical stylization.
