Notes

Introduced in 1999 and in production until 2005, the 5085 was featured in the Patek Philippe catalogues in stainless steel with a black dial. This version of 5085 in yellow gold with a silvered dial and painted Arabic numerals is a particularly rare example and less than 50 were believed to have manufactured in gold. It is only the fourth example in gold to be offered at Antiquorum and only the second complete with its original accessories.
