Christie’s Private Sale: Patek Philippe 5074R

Christie’s international head of retail for watches, Reginald Brack, takes an exclusive look at the Patek Philippe 5074R, one of Christie’s newest additions in the Private Sales Program:

“We just acquired this extremely rare rose gold Patek Philippe minute repeating perpetual calendar, now available for Private Sale at Christie’s.

The Patek Philippe Minute Repeater is really the pinnacle of watchmaking and watch collecting. To own this watch really ticks every box, as it is a beautiful perpetual calendar with moonphase. And the sound from the minute repeater is phenomenal.

Patek Philippe introduced the reference in 2001, and came out with it first in yellow gold. The Rose Gold model was introduced only in 2004. Now discontinued, we believe only 40 were made in rose gold, and of those only two with a black Arabic dial such as this one. At 42mm, this watch is certainly a powerful presence, and so different because of its impressive size.

The Patek Phillipe 5074R is available is now available for Private Sale at Christie’s and comes with the original certificate, extra case back and box.”
