Notes

Introduced in 1999 and in production until 2005, the 5085 was featured in the Patek Philippe catalogues in stainless steel with a black dial. This version of 5085 in yellow gold with a silvered dial and gold Arabic numerals is a particularly rare variation and less than 50 were believed to have manufactured. This is the first time Antiquorum have offered a gold version with silvered dial and this lot is presented servicesealed from the factory.
