Skeleton watches have long been a favorite of collectors. The ability to see and appreciate the skill and craft of watchmaker’s labor is a joy to behold, allowing the owner to view the intricate moving components in constant movement. With the reference 5180 Patek Philippe not only skeletonized the dial to allow a clear and uninterrupted view of the movement, they had the movement hand engraved across the plates and bridges of the caliber 240 SQU ultra-thin 27 jeweled movement with micro-rotor sandwiched between two large sapphire crystals.
Introduced by Patek Philippe in 2008 the 5180 has a large 18k white gold case at 39mm with supple small link integrated white gold bracelet, giving the watch an elegant and sophisticated appearance. In 2009, a unique titanium cased version of the 5180 was made for charity and selling for 520,000CHF.
The current example of the reference 5180G is complete with all accessories and is presented in like new condition.
