About this watch:

The almost 30 year old Yellow gold 34mm case of this Patek is, as you can see on our pictures, in amazing condition. It breaths class and style of the Bauhaus style and is of course perfectly finished.

This Ref. 5000J is part of a 5,000-piece limited-edition release in all colors (yellow-, white-, and rose gold) and were produced from 1992-2002.

With a case size of 34mm, the Ref. 5000G is wears at least 2mm larger than its dimensions would suggest, because of the elongated lugs.

The strap is fitted with a beautiful 18k yellow gold deployant clasp that bears the Patek Philippe Calatrava Cross, which could be seen as an independent jewel.

The dial is in perfect condition and has a train-track style minute track, which is echoed around the small seconds sub-dial placed on the 4 o’clock index marker. The Arabic numerals on this 5000J have a modern feel - despite its almost 30 year old age - which are printed in gold for ease of legibility and a lot of contrast.

The example we offer wears the Calibre 240PS (Petite Seconde), this movement is recently fully checked by our watchmaker and runs very good. This high quality movement is “ultra thin” and is of course visible through the transparent case back. This movement has the famous micro-rotor, 27 jewels, with free sprung regulator and Gyromax balance (21’600 alt/h). Looking at this interplay under a magnifying glass with sufficient light never gets boring, a village in itself.

The watch comes with “Certificat d’ Origine” stamped 22 Augustus 1995 at the heart of Patek: “Patek Philippe Magasin” in Geneva. Also the Patek inner box, and the Patek outer box, are included.

The distinguished 5000J is the best example of “less is more”, inspired by the Bauhaus style. We think it’s a complete, vintage, sporty and elegant watch for casual or chic moments, for a still relatively affordable price.
