In the rarefied world of haute horlogerie, few timepieces resonate with the profound depth of the Patek Philippe Ref. 5016P-010, a platinum-clad opus that once reigned as the brand's most intricate wristwatch. Launched in 1994 and produced until 2010, this 37mm masterpiece fuses three grand complications into a symphony of mechanical poetry: a chiming minute repeater with sublime resonance, a tourbillon cage that defies gravity for unparalleled precision, and a retrograde perpetual calendar that dances across the dial with retrograde date, moon phases, day, month, and leap year indicators.
Encased in lustrous platinum with sculpted, turn-down lugs and a subtle diamond inlay denoting its noble metal, the watch measures a refined 13mm thick—elegant enough for daily wear, yet brimming with technical bravura. The white dial, adorned with applied white gold Breguet numerals and a luminous feuille hand sweeping the retrograde sector, exudes understated opulence. Beneath a sapphire case back lies the manual-winding Caliber R TO 27 PS QR: 506 meticulously finished components, including black-polished hammers, perlage, and an "Octopus" wheel, all powering a 48-hour reserve with the finesse of a maestro's baton.
Produced in fewer than 200 platinum examples, the 5016P-010 remains a grail among collectors. Fewer than 20 have surfaced at auction, and this particular white dial variant is believed to be the only factory single-sealed example ever offered. Fresh to market and appearing at auction for the very first time, it presents a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire a timepiece that has remained untouched and unseen until now. For the discerning aficionado, this is not just a watch—it's a legacy, a statement, and a once-in-a-generation chance to own one of Patek Philippe's most revered grand complications.
