附帶後補資料庫精粹

The Patek Philippe reference 5059 is very remarkable and instantly recognisable credits to the officer’s case. Launched in 1998, not only the production continued for 8 short years, it is also the first perpetual calendar watch after the legendary reference 2497 and 2438 to feature center sweep seconds. The addition of the retrograde date was also critical in showcasing Patek Philippe’s artisanship in fine watchmaking. Perfect in both reliability and elegance, the hinged case back also added a lot of vintage character to the masterpiece, reminiscent of a pocket watch.
