Through its rigorous quality control and high standards for tempo, sound quality, and volume, Patek Philippe’s minute repeating watches are widely considered the finest and best sounding amongst connoisseurs. With every minute repeating timepiece personally approved by the President of Patek Philippe before being sold, in the world of haute horologie, there are few things as iconic and desirable as a Patek Philippe minute repeating wristwatch. The reference 5029 was a watch created by the firm with the intent to commemorate everything Patek Philippe stands for: quality, craftsmanship, originality and innovation. Made to celebrate the inauguration of the new Patek Philippe workshops in Plan Les-Quates opened in 1997, this reference remains highly sought after amongst collectors. The case was created by the world renowned Jean-Pierre Hagmann (JPH), an incredibly talented individual known for his work on some of the most prestigious minute repeating watches, such as the celebrated references 3974, 3979 and the present 5029.;Manufactured in a limited series of only 10 examples in yellow gold, pink gold and platinum, resulting in only 30 timepieces total. This minute repeating watch combines everything the market has come to admire about arguably the greatest watch manufacture in history. Its understated looks will fool the casual observer, who would have no idea the watch is fitted with an ingenious, ultra-thin minute repeating movement, the caliber R 27 PS, incorporating an offset winding rotor that permits space for the two minute repeating gongs. The beautiful officer-style hinged case with screw-set lugs is a recognizable design synonymous with some of Patek Philippe’s most beautiful dress watches. Actuate the discreet slide at 9 o’clock, and the clear, crisp, and surprisingly loud chimes that strike the exact time will absolutely delight its subject. The present 5029R timepiece is perfectly preserved, as if it had never been worn since the time of sale. It is as complete as one could hope for, with its presentation boxes, original certificate of origin, Attestation, Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometre, leather pouch, product literature, and hangtag. Furthermore, the watch is offered with an Extract from the Archives confirming date of production in 1997 and subsequent sale date on February 27th, 1998. For the discerning collector, it is an exquisite trophy watch worthy of crowning the world’s finest collections.
