Notes
Movement N. 500xxxx Signed Dial, case and movement 5078P is Patek Philippe's one and only men's watch that carries minute repeater as its sole function, and it's always regarded as "the minute repeater with the best chime". It was firstly launched in 2005, housing in a platinum case with optional black lacquer or white enamel dial. Later came the rose gold version with the white enamel dial. The automatic movement R 27 PS (which is rarely seen on minute repeater) is equipped with two gongs to perform the glassy chime, which make this reference a highly sought-after piece in the market. The present lot is in a very rare, factory-sealed condition.
