Notes
Fifth series: From 1978 to circa 1985, round buttons, sapphire crystal, feuille or dauphine hands, applied baton indexes. Very few examples were made with tachometer or telemeter scale and three pieces only with sapphire crystal back. In this series, models with the tachometer indication are extremely rare. Only one example is known with a black dial. This reference was produced in: yellow gold and in pink gold, and only two examples in platinum, of which one was sold by Antiquorum in Geneva on April 9, 1989, "The Art of Patek Philippe", lot 34. A similar watch is published in "Patek Philippe Wristwatches", by Martin Huber and Alan Banbery, 1998, page 302.
