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. Buyers should be aware that breaking the seal may cause the lot to decrease in value.

Reference 5013 was launched in 1992 and was discontinued in 2011. It was the first wristwatch to combine an automatic movement with minute repeater, retrograde date and༺ perpetual calendar. Until 2004 with the introduction of the 5016, the 5013 was the most complicated wristwatch offered by Patek Philippe in a series. The movement is composed of 515 individual parts; the present lot, made in 2011, bears the PP seal.

The present lot is cased in white gold. According to our research, there were 6 examples of the 5013 made in white꧂ gold, and the present lot is the second example in that metal to appear at auction. It is being offered still sealed from the factory and𒈔 unused.
