With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated 7 August 2009, product literature, instruction manual, leather wallet, leather porfolio, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
The present lot is fresh to the market and it is only the 8th reference 5078P known that come back to the public since its launch.
Reference 5078 was launched at Baselworld fair in 2005. Realized only with a platinum case was first fitted with a white enamel dial then with a black lacquered metal dial in 2010.
To the best of our Knowledge only 100 references 5078 were produced since its launch.
It is fitted with the ingenious calibre R 27 PS which impresses not only by its remarkable number of 342 parts but also by Patek Philippe's masterly performance of combining a micro-rotor and a minute repeating mechanism in a proportionally small 12 1/2''' movement. minute repeating mechanism in a proportionally small 12 1/2''' movement.
It is furthermore incorporating a "Cathedral" repeating mechanism of this watch consisting of a high-tone and a low-tone gong. When the repeating is activated, first the hours are stroke by means of one of the two hammers on the low-tone gong, followed by the quarter hours with double strikes on both the low-tone and the high-tone gong, and finally the number of minutes which have elapsed since the last quarter-hour with one hammer on the high-tone gong.
The length of the gong in a standard repeating mechanism corresponds to almost precisely one turn in the movement whereas those of the "Cathedral" mechanism exceed the case circumference by at least one and a half, even two turns. Consequently, a much richer and fuller timbre is achieved.
