This was not only a window into the future of PP's complications but a remarkable example of their technical prowess. It's important to note that the case design was inspired by the ref. 2526 which was released in the '50's as PP's first automatic timepiece and today a highly collectible model. The ref. 5035 brings in these historical elements and blends them with modern touches from a water resistant exhibition caseback, quickset date function to luminescent hands and Roman indices. It is elegant and practical as it is historically significant. The ref. 5146 launched in '05, leveraging the cal. 315 but boosted the case to 39mm. It had a number of key design updates, from Arabic 9, 12, 3, a power reserve indicator and most notably a moonphase complication. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular example, circa '09, is cased in yellow gold and comes accompanied with all the elements a collector could hope for. It has remained in excellent pre-owned condition with a thick and evenly portioned case and strong hallmarks. The set includes its original warranty papers (a key element for many serious Patek collectors), inner and outer boxes, setting pin, folder with multiple PP booklets and stunning 18k factory Patek Philippe bracelet. The bracelet remains equally well preserved with light signs of use. It remains tight, fitting an approximate 7.5 inch wrist. For anyone looking for a beautiful and complicated Patek Philippe, this ref. remains solid value in today's market and works equally well on leather as it does on the show stopping bracelet. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52443202126100,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/patek-philippe-5146j-annual-calendar-moonphase-full-set-original-papers-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny.jpg?v=1778331780","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/patek-philippe-5146j-annual-calendar-moonphase-full-set-original-papers","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
