Lot Essay
Launched at Baselworld 2010, the Patek Philippe reference 5205 marked a new era for annual calendar family in the catalog. House in a contemporary 40mm case, the watch appears slender and streamline, thanks to the concave bezel and scalloped and skeletonized lugs. This contemporary aesthetic was a new leap of confidence from the traditional maison.
Years later in 2017, the model was refreshed with a new blue dial version marked as reference 5205G-013, such as the present lot. The timepiece is crafted from 18k white gold, and the annual calendar display with moon phases and 24-hours has a pleasing symmetrical layout. Powering the timepiece and visible through the sapphire caseback is in-house caliber 324 S QA LU 24H, featuring Côtes de Genève, anglage, and black mirror polishing.
