Please be advised that bands made of materials derived from endangered or otherwise protected species (i.e. alligator and crocodile) are not sold with the watches and are for display purposes only. We reserve the right to remove these bands prior to shipping. Please note that the present lot is being offered in its original factory seal. Because the strap must be removed in order for the watch to be shipped out of the United States, the factory seal will need to be broken.

Available from🌼 2001 until 2006 exclusively in yellow gold, the reference 5074 broke tradition from Patek Philippe’s philosophy of creating highly complicated movements within a compact case. Housed within a large 42 mm diameter case, the model utilized the same self-winding caliber R 27 Q minute repeating perpetual calendar movement as found in the famed, 36 mm diameter, reference 3974. Due to the increased diameter of the case, longer coiled ‘Cathedral’ repeater gongs were incorporated which allowed for greater resonance when chimed. Available in yellow gold with either a silvered or black dial, less than 10 examples of 5074 in yellow gold are known to the market.

The pr🤪esent lot bears the PP seal on the movement, and is offered in unused, fa♔ctory sealed condition.
