A word from the appraiser

The Patek Philippe 5078P-001 is a platinum dress watch equipped with one of the manufacture’s most prestigious complications, the minute repeater. While its appearance is understated, it embodies profound aesthetic refinement and stands as a true object of desire for watch connoisseurs.

The 38 mm platinum case combines weight and elegance in a classic round shape. Its dial features deep black enamel, adorned with applied white gold indices and graceful leaf-shaped hands, showcasing both timeless design and artisanal mastery.

Inside beats the in-house self-winding Caliber R 27 PS. Thanks to its micro-rotor construction, the watch maintains a slim profile while delivering the pure, resonant tones of the minute repeater. Through the sapphire crystal case back, the meticulous finishing and intricate acoustic mechanism can be admired in full.

Beneath its simple exterior, the 5078P-001 conceals an exceptionally sophisticated complication, representing serene beauty and the artistry of mechanical watchmaking—a true embodiment of Patek Philippe’s horological excellence.
