Rare bird: Patek Philippe ref. 5296 Pisa Orologeria edition
In 2008, for the opening of the new boutique of the Milano retailer 'Pisa Orologeria 1940' (via Pietro Verri), Patek Philippe launched a 50 pcs limited edition of the ref. 5296: 25 pcs in white gold & 25 in rose gold. Powered by caliber 324 SC, the mo...
