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. It is considered the successor to the famous ref. 3974. Finally at the same fair in 2009, the platinum version was offered. The mechanism is the same in both references with the exception of the gong which goes twice around the watch case in reference 5074 in order to give a better and louder sound. This type of gong is called ‘cathedral gong’. This particular example has been maintained in perfect condition.
