Patek Philippe

Ref. 5050P

In watch collecting, only a handful of names are as revered and respected as Henry Graves. Born in 1868, the American banker, financierand patron of the horological arts, is renowned for having curated one of the, if not most, important private collections of the 20th century. Known for his keen eye and exquisite taste, Graves devoted his time and purse to pursuing the most fascinating and exciting masterpieces that challenged the technical proficiencies at the time. Notoriously competitive, he rivalled another American collector and auto manufacturer magnate, James Ward Packard, in a friendly ‘pissing contest’, resulting in the world’s most complicated portable timepiece for 56 years running.

A perpetual dream,this unique Patek Philippe Supercomplication pocket watch is equipped with Twenty-four individual complications and took eight years to build. Finally completed in 1933, the masterpiece undoubtedly attests to the Swiss manufacturer’s mechanical prowess that remains unchallenged today.

Following the firm’s famous slogan: “You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.” his daughter became the custodian of his historically significant collection after his passing. She later bestowed it upon his grandson, Reginald H. Fullerton Jr. Like grandfather, like grandson, Fullerton was a passionate watch enthusiast who maintained Grave’s pieces while also assembling his own impressive collection of distinguished timepieces in exceptional condition. In addition to his thorough record-keeping and daily maintenance, Mr Fullerton insisted that cases and dials not be touched during cleaning and servicing and that almost all of his watches retain their original accompaniments. The result is a time capsule collection, with each example seemingly untouched since its construction. The present platinum ref. 5050 became one of his many prized possessions in 2003.

Accessories

Accompanied by undated Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin stamped Fratelli Piccini Italy and date-coded June 1997, instruction manual, product literature, leather folio, setting pin, additional solid caseback, fitted winding presentation box and outer packaging. Further delivered with Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming the date of manufacture of the present timepiece in 1995 and its subsequent date of sale on 4th June 1997.

The ref. 5050 is a highly collectible model, introduced at Baselworld in 1993 as Patek Philippe’s first serially produced perpetual calendar wristwatch with moon phases and retrograde date. The reference was released in yellow, pink and white gold, as well as platinum like the present timepiece. Each engraved with the case maker key number 115, all ref. 5050 cases were manufactured by Favre-Perret. According to research, only an estimated 150 examples were dressed in platinum, spread across three series throughout its nine-year production run. An evolution of the ref. 5050 can be noticed with the first series featuring thin painted roman numerals, while the second series released in 1995 is defined by the applied baton indexes with an “Automatic” designation below the moon phase. The third series, as per this platinum example, has applied Roman numerals and excludes the “Automatic” signature. So far, only 14 examples of the ref. 5050P-018 have been identified, boasting this exact dial configuration.

Combining its rarity, prominent provenance and remarkable condition, PHILLIPS is proud to offer this impressive ref. 5050 to the public for the third time. The present example first came to light in 2012 during the late Reginald H Fullerton, Jr’s auction and was later sold at PHILLIPS in 2020. Patek Philippe’s perpetual calendars are second to none, and this is an irresistible opportunity to own a piece of their historical past, paired with an important horological lineage.

Property from the original owner 原物主收藏

Launched to commemorate the advent of the new millennium, the ref. 5100 was introduced in 2000 and notably features an intriguing case design, combined with a game-changing movement equipped with a 10-day power reserve.

The case design of the ref. 5100 is drawn from the historical ref. 2442, nicknamed “Manta Ray” for its dramatically flared casebands that resemble the giant, charismatic sea creature. Realized in the three gold colours and platinum, all versions were produced as limited editions, with the platinum one being the rarest and most sought-after: 1500 examples in 18k yellow gold with silvered dial, 750 examples in 18k pink gold with anthracite dial, 450 examples in 18k white gold with blue dial, 300 examples in platinum with black dial.

Fresh-to-the-market and is possibly the 52nd example to be identified, the present ref. 5100P-001 is one of 300 examples boasting this desirable configuration and will certainly appeal to collectors of important mechanical marvels.

Manually wound, the reference 5100 is a time-only piece with a ten-day power reserve. Back in 2000, this was a remarkable achievement, as the typical power reserve for most watches is about 36 to 48 hours. The four beautifully decorated bridges of the movement are visible through the sapphire crystal, which is furthermore chronometer certified.

Sold to the original owner in circa 2001, the present ref. 5100J-001 is the 125th yellow gold example known to the market and is further accompanied by its original accessories. Borrowing timeless design cues from the past, this example is preserved in excellent overall condition and will certainly be a great addition to any collection.

First launched in 2003, the Patek Philippe ref. 5101 is defined by its distinctively large but elegant stepped case, reminiscent of historical timepieces from the Art Deco era. The platinum variant was discontinued in 2009 to make way for the pink gold siblings. The understated tourbillon design was well-received but rendered unusual compared to its peers at the time it was introduced. A quintessential Patek Philippe design, the overall aesthetic is discreet and may appear to be a time-only wristwatch at first glance. Luckily, the sapphire caseback invites its wearer to have a peek at the beautiful architecture within, highlighting its tourbillon carriage which subtly rotates on an axis.

A mechanical marvel, the ref. 5101 is fitted with two complications which is no easy feat within the confines of a rectangular movement and case, due to insufficient space. The manual winding cal. TO 28-20 REC 10J PS features two tandem mainspring barrels with 240 hours of energy storage capacity and a tourbillon precision comprising 72 individual components.

Boasting a highly desirable salmon dial, the warm and inviting canvas is topped with a masculine touch, featuring bold black Breguet numerals and a pair of feuille solid hands to match. The present timepiece’s serial, “3'361'296”, is also highlighted in the small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. Preserved in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, this Patek Philippe ref. 5101P-010 from 2007 is previously unknown and is the 65th example to have returned to the market.

Produced between 1993 and 2011, Patek Philippe’s ref. 5016 was once the most complicated wristwatch ever envisioned by the manufacturer. Combining the three most arduous complications in watchmaking: a minute repeater, a perpetual calendar and a tourbillon, this model is further elevated with a moon phase and retrograde date. It wasn’t until 2001 and the launch of the Sky Moon Tourbillon, ref. 5002, that Patek Philippe presented a more complicated piece.

Offered in yellow, white and pink gold, along with platinum, this reference is fitted with silvered or black dials, each bearing movement number printed below the moon phase – paying homage to the observatory chronometer pocket watches of the past. It is believed that approximately 200 examples were manufactured until production ended in 2011.

The retrograde perpetual calendar function is rarely employed in Patek Philippe wristwatches, having only graced a few select, future references, such as the 5050, the 5059, the 5159 and the 5160. The retrograde date has a fly-back hand, and depending on the month and leap year cycle, the hand habitually bounces back to the first of the month after the 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st. The fast flyback of the date hand is accomplished with a spiral spring and an ingenious rebound limiter mechanism developed and perfected by Patek Philippe. Further displaying Breguet numerals on the dial, the ref. 5016 offers tranquillity with its phenomenal presentation, with the perpetual calendar indications displayed in a balanced layout.

Housed in a relatively compact 37mm diameter case, the expansive layout and arched lugs allow for significant presence on the wrist without any hint of ostentatiousness. Through its sapphire caseback, the wearer is invited to admire the magnificent manual winding cal. RTO 27 PS QR. Each of the 506 components compressed into this little giant is hand-finished to perfection. The tourbillon synchronises with the euphonious chimes of the minute repeater in a poetic fashion.

The present lot is fresh to the public market and the 14th example with 018 dial to be identified. This masterpiece is beautifully preserved and is further completed with its original accessories, combined with incredible charm and rarity, a piece that could be the crown jewel in any collection.

Released in 2003 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Rolex’s pioneering divers’ watch the Submariner, the ref. 16610LV would soon become a cult classic due to its eye-catching green aluminum bezel insert and Maxi dial featuring larger indexes and hands. It was given the nickname “Kermit” for its resemblance to the colour of the Muppet Frog. Highly desirable and worthy of collecting, this reference was only in production for 7 years before it was replaced in 2010 by the ref. 116610LV known as the “Hulk”, which featured a matching green dial with the updated Cerachrom bezel insert in green.

During the initial few years of its release, the ref. 16610LV was produced with the “Flat Four” bezel and is considered among collectors as a rare gem to find on the market. The present example from circa 2004 bearing a “F” serial with the coveted “Flat Four” bezel is preserved in excellent overall condition and comes with its original accessories. As a model that is increasingly difficult to find, the present watch is a fitting one to acquire for the celebration of the Submariner’s 70th anniversary.

Marking a milestone for the Daytona, Rolex released the ref. 16520 in 1988 being the manufacture’s first-ever Daytona model to feature a self-winding movement and a larger case with crown guards. A significant breakthrough for Rolex, it is powered by the cal. 4030 with a Zenith El-Primero base. First launched in stainless steel with two dial options including black and white, gold models were also introduced with various dial designs and materials. The reference was discontinued in 2000, making way for the ref. 116520 featuring the firm’s first-ever in-house self-winding chronograph cal. 4130.

The present example Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 16520 in stainless steel features the desirable black dial with an inverted 6 from circa 1994 with an “S” serial. Not only is it a timeless icon, but this present timepiece is offered in “like-new” condition with its green case back sticker intact with no signs of use and wear. Complete with its full set of accessories, this fine specimen is not to be missed.

Unveiled at Baselworld in 2019, the Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 126603 is a hybrid of a robust diver’s wristwatch with a touch of gold. Combined for the first time Rolex’s 904L Oystersteel and 18K yellow gold, the two-tone construction Sea-Dweller not only distinct itself with its good looks, its remarkable depth rating of 1,220 meters / 4,000 ft inscribed at 6 o’clock on the black dial echoes the colour of yellow gold with luxurious appeal. Similar to its sibling ref. 126600 with all-steel counterparts, the Sea-Dwellers are equipped with the caliber 3235 movement for superlative performance.

A consummate demonstration of Rolex technology with 14 patents, it offers fundamental gains from precision, power reserve, high energy efficiency and great reliability thanks to the Chronergy escapement. Made of nickelphosphorus, it is also insensitive to magnetic interference. An elevated choice for collectors seeking for not the average diver’s Sea-Dweller, the present ref. 126603 preserved in excellent overall condition accompanied with its full set of accessories is certainly one to go for.
