Consigned by an important private collector, the present platinum reference 5004 is already considered a modern classic. In essence, this reference derives its features from the reference 3970, which itself is based on the legendary reference 2499. However, reference 5004 steps up a gear in terms of complication by boasting the highly complex split seconds function. Reference 5004 is roughly one millimeter larger than reference 3970 and also easily recognizable by its oversized split-seconds pusher in the crown.
Patek Philippe replaced it with the reference 5204, released in March 2012 at the Baselworld with in-house calibre CHR 29-535 PS Q.
To the best of our knowledge, the present watch has never been offered in public before.
Reference 5004 is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, p. 312.
