Furthermore delivered with Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with opaline-white dial and applied 11 Roman numerals in pink gold in 1997 and its subsequent sale on 14 October 1997.
Fresh to the market the present watch is offered in as-new condition by its original owner, who purchased it at prestigious Milano retailer Pisa and never wore it.
Launched in 1997 to celebrate the inauguration of the new Patek Philippe workshop in Geneva, reference 5500 instantaneously fascinates the collector of rare timepieces with the voluptuous shape of tis case. Obviously inspired by landmark reference 2441 - the so-called "Tour Eiffel" -, reference 5500 updates that mythical design with more generous dimensions, following a now mainstream trend that however was already been noticed as early as 1997. For a watch defined by its case, this upgrade means that it is even easier to get lost in the apparently simplicity of the case design, very elegant and sexy thanks to the flared sides, but still strong and masculine due to the large and iconic "Tour Eiffel-style" lugs.
This model was produced in a limited edition of 1100 examples in yellow gold, 500 in pink, 250 in white gold, and 150 in platinum.
