A Patek Philippe Icon – Vintage Grande Complication Elegance
The Patek Philippe 5050J is a landmark in the brand’s grand complication lineage, being one of the first perpetual calendars with automatic movement and retrograde date display. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, its 36mm case is perfectly proportioned, exuding classic Patek sophistication.
The silver opaline dial with Roman numerals balances elegance with legibility, featuring day and month apertures, a beautifully executed moonphase, and a distinctive retrograde date arc. Powered by the Caliber 315 S QR, visible through the sapphire caseback, it embodies mechanical artistry and innovation.
This 1994 piece is preserved in very good condition, and is accompanied by the official Extract from the Archives. While the original box and warranty are not present, it is backed by a 24-month warranty from Prezioso Watches, making it a rare opportunity to own one of Patek Philippe’s most important modern vintage creations.
