Bespoke hand crafted engravings on a case is an extremely time-consuming process. The current pink gold reference 5160, launched in 2013, was based on the reference 5159 perpetual calendar retrograde date wristwatch. Reference 5160 is a tribute to artisans who master rare handcrafts. The centre of the dial, the case, the hinged dust cover and the folding clasp are all lavishly hand decorated with manually executed engravings inspired by a pocket watch that belongs to the Patek Philippe Museum collection. Offered in almost like new condition, the present watch is completed with original certificate and presentation box.
