Patek Philippe 5013R Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar "SPECIAL ORDER"

This Patek Philippe 5013R offers something almost never seen: a chocolate-brown dial fitted to special order at the Patek Philippe manufacture in place of the reference's original black dial, transforming an already exceptional grand complication into an effectively unique piece. Where the 5013R normally appears with a silver or, more rarely, black dial, this warm brown execution stands entirely apart — the kind of bespoke touch that defines a truly collectible Patek. The watch is driven by the automatic calibre R 27 PS QR, uniting a minute repeater with a perpetual calendar and retrograde date; at its introduction the 5013 was the first wristwatch to pair a self-winding movement with this depth of complication. Rose gold is the rarest and most coveted metal for the reference, prized for the warmth it lends the repeater's chime. The tonneau case measures 46.4mm in height and 36mm in width with a thickness of 12.8mm, its Art Deco form wearing with real refinement. A singular expression of one of Patek Philippe's most important complications.
