Though first introduced in 1992 and produced until the beggining of the 21st century, Patek Philippe’s Reference 5013 feels as though it belongs to a much earlier era, its elegant tonneau-shaped case and array of sophisticated complications evoke the refined aesthetics of early 20th-century watchmaking. It carries forward a deep-rooted legacy in chiming and calendar watches that Patek Philippe has cultivated for well over a century. What distinguishes the 5013, however, is its pioneering status as the brand’s first self-winding wristwatch to combine a minute repeater with a perpetual calendar and moon phase display, marking a bold step into modernity while still honoring traditional craftsmanship.This particular configuration, in warm pink gold with a striking black dial, underscores the contemporary character of the model. A retrograde date hand adds a layer of kinetic drama, snapping back to the start of the month in one swift motion. The 5013 isn’t merely a tribute to the past; it is a showcase of horological ingenuity, fusing innovation with timeless design in a watch that remains as technically impressive as it is aesthetically compelling. The movement inside the reference 5013, the Caliber R 27 PS QR, represents a major milestone in Patek Philippe’s technical evolution. Its creation was a direct continuation of the pioneering efforts that began in 1989, when the brand celebrated its 150th anniversary by introducing its first automatic minute repeater. Traditionally, minute repeaters were exclusively the domain of manually wound calibers—such was the convention for over a century. By engineering an automatic mechanism to drive one of watchmaking’s most revered complications, Patek Philippe not only defied tradition but elevated it. The result was a seamless fusion of heritage and progress, embodied perfectly in the sophisticated architecture of the 5013. The purist collector might be intrigued to know that only 101 examples of this very reference where ever made, of which only 20 examples where crafted in pink gold, and out of those 20 only 10 have surfaced the market. Preserved in truly remarkable and perfect condition, the present Patek Philippe reference 5013R is further accompanied by all its original accessories such as original Certificate of Origin dated 2013, leather folio with additional documentation,additional caseback, setting pin,winding presentation box and outer packaging.
