Launched in 1992 and remained in production until 2010, the reference 5013 was the most complicated wristwatch produced in series by Patek Philippe until the introduction of reference 5016 in 1994. Reference 5013 was the first wristwatch to combine an automatic movement with minute repeater, retrograde date and perpetual calendar. The majority were cased in platinum or yellow gold and examples in pink gold are rarely seen at auction. Complete with all original accessories, the present watch fitted with a charismatic black dial is an epitome of Patek Philippe's outstanding craftsmanship and is in excellent overall condition.
