Catalogue Note
The Reference 5059 was launched in 1998 and discontinued in 2006. Ref. 5059, together with Ref. 5050 and Ref. 5159, this watch is the only one Patek Philippe ever produced with these feature combinations. It is also the first watch produced, since the legendary Ref. 2497 and Ref. 2438-1, with centre seconds on a perpetual calendar. According to our research this watch is the earliest ref 5059G to appear on the market.
