Patek Philippe

Only Watch pieces retrospective

 

Now that the Only Watch 2015 auction is over, I thought it could be interesting to share here the different unique pieces Patek Philippe unveiled for this event which is held every two years.

Some have unique features and others have a unique material choice. I found these pictures on Patek's official website.




2015 - The last one that you already know about: the 5016A-001 in steel.

2013 - The very sporty Titanium 5004:





2011 - The 3939 Minute Repeater Tourbillon with its fabulous black dial with Breguet numerals (made at the special request of Kari and Imran):

2009 - A "celestial" 5106 with the kind of dial we find on the current 6102P. The dial looks mesmerizing:





2007 - A Nautilus 5712 strap version but in Titanium:





2005 - And to finish with, the very original (for our time) 5099 with it famous front hinged cover:

 

I like the beautiful 3939 black dial: what's you favorite?

Cheers, Mark





By the way, Patek Philippe has released a little communication message for the last auction:


The 6th edition of Only Watch was held for the first time in Geneva on Saturday, November 7th 2015.

"Only Watch is a charity auction which has been taking place every 2 years since 2005. The proceeds from the sales are donated to the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy to help finance research for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a degenerative neuromuscular disease affecting one in 3’500 children, adolescents, and young adults around the world.

For the Only Watch 6th edition, Patek Philippe participated with an exceptional and unique Ref. 5016 in stainless steel.

The Patek Philippe Ref. 5016A (Lot nr. 16) reached a new record result of CHF 7.300.000.- and becomes the highest priced wristwatch of this charity auction since its debut in 2005.

44 unique watches were sold under the hammer of Phillips Auctioneers for a total of CHF 11.160.000.-, making it the most successful benefit event organized by Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies (AMM) to date."
