To the best of our knowledge this watch has never before been offered in public.
Manufacture of reference 5004 was launched in 1994 in yellow gold, white gold, pink gold, and platinum. Patek Philippe discontinued the reference in 2009 in those metals however produced a limited series in stainless steel in 2010.
The reference 5004 is already considered a modern classic, deriving features from the reference 3970, which itself is based on the legendary reference 2499. However, the reference 5004 adds the complex split-seconds chronograph function, and is easily recognizable by the split-seconds pusher in the crown.
Reference 5004 was replaced with two slimmer and smaller split-seconds chronograph references - the cushion-shaped reference 5951 released in 2010 with an in-house calibre CHR 27-525 PS Q, and the reference 5204 released in March 2012 at the Basel Fair with an in-house calibre CHR 29-535 PS Q.
For an example of a reference 5004 in platinum, please see Lot 360 in this sale.
Reference 5004 is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by M. Huber & A. Banbery, second edition, p. 312.
