Notes

Ref. 5074 was launched in 2002 only in yellow gold available with a silver or a black dial. In 2005 during the Basel fair Patek Philippe, presented the pink gold version. In 2009 during the Basel fair Patek Philippe, presented the platinum version. It is considered the successor of the famous Ref. 3974. The mechanism is the same in both references at the exception of the gong which goes twice around the watch case in Ref. 5074 to give a better and louder sound. This type of gong is called “Cathedral Gong”.
