A Platinum Patek Philippe Geneve Model 5960P-016 in Superb Pre Owned Condition, Dated October 2014, Sold with Original Box and Paperwork. 

In 1839, Antoine Norbert de Patek established a watch factory with his compatriot, François Czapek, a watchmaker. They registered a partnership, Patek, Czapek & Cie, which was limited to six years. This company was subsequently liquidated and Patek went on to seek the services of another watchmaker.

In 1844, whilst visiting Paris, Patek learned of another watchmaker named Jean Adrien Philippe. Philippe was the inventor of a pocket watch, able to be wound without a winding key. Patek invited Philippe to join him in Geneva and the following year, the company Patek & Cie was founded.

Initially, Philippe was engaged as technical director of the company but went on to become a partner in 1851. Jean Adrien Philippe voiced his frustration that the nomenclature of the company failed to recognise his surname. As a result, the company was renamed Patek, Philippe & Cie. The name remained unchanged until 2009 when the comma was deemed superfluous and the company simply became known as Patek Philippe.

What’s On Offer 

A beautiful and rather rare (discontinued) Patek Philippe Geneve automatic chronograph, and annual calendar, with a stunning black dial, day and night indication, and power reserve. The sapphire display case back reveals the beauty of the movement complete with the Patek Phillipe Seal.

The watch is paired with a stylish black alligator strap (plus a new strap also included) with a platinum deployant clasp boasting the Patek Philippe signature. 

This watch is in superb condition with only minor signs of general wear, it has clearly been well taken care of. With a timeless design and effortless sophistication, this watch will take the wearer easily to all manner of occasions and stir the odd pang of envy from onlookers.
