In 1996, when Patek Philippe's watchmaking department moved to Plan-les-Ouates, they stumbled upon a wooden chest in their old building that held some extraordinary hidden treasures - 100 calibre 9''90 movements dating all the way back to 1959. Patek Philippe's master watchmakers carefully disassembled and serviced these movements, restoring their ability to run once again. These movements were then housed in a rectangular platinum case, ultimately giving life to the reference 5105, which was launched in 2006 to celebrate the opening of Patek Philippe Geneva's salon. Drawing inspiration from the art deco period, this watch was limited to only 100 pieces.
