Among Patek Philippe’s grand complications, the reference 5020 occupies a singular place: a timepiece that challenged tradition and, in doing so, became a modern icon. Introduced in 1994 and produced for less than a decade, the model’s distinctive cushion-shaped “TV screen” case marked a bold departure from Patek’s classical design codes, embodying the confident design experimentation of the 1990s.
Mechanically, it shares its beating heart with the legendary reference 3970, powered by the calibre CH 27-70 Q, integrating a perpetual calendar, moon phases, leap year, and 24-hour indication, all within a design that bridges the classical and the avant-garde.
The present example, crafted in white gold and featuring a black dial with applied Breguet numerals, represents one of the most refined and elusive configurations of the model. Its matching white gold bracelet further enhances its presence and rarity. Documented by its Certificate of Origin and preserved in superb condition, it is, to the best of our knowledge, the first example of its kind to appear publicly.
Key features:
– Reference 5020G | Cushion-Shaped “TV Screen” Case in 18K White Gold
– Black Dial with Applied Breguet Numerals | Matching White Gold Bracelet
– Calibre CH 27-70 Q | Manual Wind | Perpetual Calendar with Moon Phases
– Complete with Certificate of Origin and Accessories
A daring fusion of form and function, this 5020G stands as one of the most distinctive expressions of Patek Philippe’s grand complication lineage — a creation that has transcended its era to become a true collector’s treasure.
