Patek 5074 - Perpetual Calendar Minute Repeater
quattro
Today, I'd like to draw some attention to this reference, which is a sort of cousin of the 5070, the case and dial design having many similarities.

The Minute Repeater has cathedral gongs.
Yellow gold variants seem to have been introduced in 2002, rose gold variants in 2005 and platinum variants in 2009. And production supposedly ended in 2015. Information and reference numbers online are quite confusing.
I find this reference gorgeous.
Have a very nice week-end!

Yes, fantastic reference. My favorite would be the yellow or rose gold/silver dial. Thanks for looking.

Wow you are on fire! I always loved this reference which is a blend of 3970, 5970 and 5070. Just gorgeous. Without surprise my favorite are the platinum blue and black.

Digging into these references is very interesting and a great pleasure. Gorgeous reference indeed. Had I the money I wouldn't hesitate to acquire one (if I could fin one of course). Platinum/blue dial is fantastic, but I my heart goes to the yellow and rose gold/silver dial versions.

Yes, but as much as I love enamel dials, I find the 5079, which has small seconds only (no pc) to be aesthetically less attractive. ...
