Notes

The Patek reference 5004 remains one of Patek's most desirable modern complication. Its elegant look, similar to the 3970 but with its extra thickness and of course the split-second mechanism have made it a true classic. According to our research the combination of a rose gold case and a black dial is particularly rare and is the second one of its kind to appear at auction.
