Catalogue Note

Accompanied by a Certificate of Origin dated June 14th, 2007. Together with product literature, leather folder, and a fitted presentation box.

Favored for its elegant oversized case, Ref. 5296 is a modern interpretation of Patek Philippe's classic Calatrava case. The attractive two-tone sector dial of the present example is reminiscent of a model produced in 1934, which is illustrated in Huber, M. & Banbery, A., Patek Philippe Wristwatches, Vol. II, Second Edition, pp. 205-6.
