Ref. 5016
Production of this reference started in 1993. It is the second most complicated wristwatch ever produced by Patek Philippe and takes its
place in a long tradition of extremely fine and highly complicated mechanical timepieces. It is surpassed only by Ref. 5002,
the “Sky Moon Tourbillon”.
Ref. 5016 incorporates a perpetual calendar with a retrograde, or flyback, date hand whose specially developed mechanism absorbs
almost no energy when the hand returns on the 1st of each month. Month, year and leap year indications will change instantaneously
and if it is always kept running, no adjustments need to be made to the watch until Feb. 28th, 2100. (The moon phase
indication will show a deviation of one single day only after 122 years and 45 days). The minute repeater sounds with
unequalled purity and clarity and the tourbillon cage lies on the same rotational axis as the balance and fourth wheels,
a very difficult configuration. All harmoniously blended together in this timepiece of the highest quality, beauty
and prestige. |
