Lot Essay

Introduced in 1999, the Reference 5099RG, known as the "Cabriolet," was inspired by a rare Patek Philippe watch from the 1920s. Only three examples of the original Cabriolet were ever made, making this modern tribute a homage to an extraordinary historical piece.

The watch features a two-tone 18k rose and white gold case with a brushed and polished finish. Its most distinctive element is the hinged front cover, which conceals the dial and is released by pressing two discreet buttons on the case band. When opened, it reveals a rose dial with black Breguet numerals and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock.

Powering the watch is the manual-winding calibre 215 PS, a precision movement that has been a trusted workhorse for Patek Philippe for many years.

Produced from 2000 to 2008, the Reference 5099RG was made in limited numbers. Its unusual design, complex case construction, and historical inspiration make it a fascinating and highly collectible timepiece for any discerning collector.
