The brilliant combination of tourbillon and minute repeater was first produced by Patek Philippe in 1993 with the reference 3939 and considered one of the manufacturer’s greatest grand complications. The present reference 5339 model is the successor of the iconic reference and produced solely in pink gold from 2010. Its production period was very short and only a few dozen pieces were made in total.
While possessing some features similar to its predecessor such as the skillfully made white enamel dial, seen on this model is a slightly larger pink gold case with a quintessentially Patek Philippe Clou de Paris bezel. This intricately guilloched hobnail pattern bezel was first seen in 1932 and often features on Calatrava models, though rarely seen on Grand Complications. These subtle but distinct details together with the contemporary baton numerals make this timepiece a picture of understated elegance and highly attractive.
Powered by calibre RTO 27 PS, the tourbillon escapement ensures impeccable time keeping while the minute repeater sounds a melodious chime when activated by the slide mechanism on the side of the case. Classically beautiful and technically advanced, this Grand Complication is no doubt a highly impressive and collectible timepiece.
