The current group of four REF. 5076P platinum and diamond set 'Sail Boats' wristwatches with polychrome enamel dials belong to Patek Philippe's enamel series exclusively made for their top clientele.  These highly coveted boutique items are sold in two distinct sets of two wristwatches, all featuring different stylized enamel and diamond set boat scenes.   Also, Patek Philippe wristwatches that combine diamond setting and enamelling techniques are little known to the market and for this reason are greatly sought after by collectors. 

Due to its extremely limited production, it is exceptionally rare to find a complete collection of four REF. 5076P platinum and diamond set "Sail Boat" wristwatches.  To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a diamond set and enamel version of REF. 5076P has appeared at auction.
