- Making its debut in 1998, the Patek Philippe ref. 5085 featured a round-shaped case with examples fitted with an integrated bracelet earning its nickname the “Neptune”. While a keen eye may notice the similarities between the current reference and the famous Nautilus ref. 5712, both references are powered by the same movement cal. 240. - The asymmetrical dial layout features a date, moon phases, small seconds and power reserve indication. Dressed in matte black with contrasting white Arabic numerals, the appeal together with its unusual integrated stainless steel bracelet is certainly nothing short of interesting. So much so that it was only produced until 2005 with a relatively low production. - The present example from 2003 is offered in excellent overall condition with its Certificate of Origin and accessories for the discerning collector.
