Lot Essay

Introduced in 1996, Patek Philippe unveiled the groundbreaking reference 5035, the world's first self-winding wristwatch to feature an annual calendar, meaning it only had to be set once a year. This newly invented calendar complication would lay down the foundation for a plethora of future models to utilize this functional and more-approachable calendar in terms of price point. Powering this watch is the Caliber 315 S QA 24H that impressively fits into a 37 millimeter case with a slim profile of only 11mm.

The present timepiece has a very attractive configuration with a heavy platinum case, applied luminous Roman hour markers, and luminous leaf hands. The watch has a screw-in sapphire caseback which aids with water-resistance while showcasing the monumental movement.

The condition of lots sold in our auctions can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their nature means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold "as is," in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Christie's or by the seller.
Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry or in a condition report will not amount to a full description of condition, and images may not show a lot clearly. Colours and shades may look different in print or on screen to how they look on physical inspection. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. Condition reports are provided free of charge as a convenience to our buyers and are for guidance only. They offer our opinion but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation because our staff are not professional restorers or conservators. For that reason they are not an alternative to examining a lot in person or taking your own professional advice. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any condition report.
