The 5056P was one of the first annual calendar wristwatches to feature moon phases. It is perfectly sized in a 37mm diameter platinum case and is adorned with a charming slate grey dial, which is the first grey dial for Patek Philippe according to Thierry Stern. The luminous Roman numeral hour markers and broad leaf shaped hands complement flawlessly with the brushed grey surface, and the dial layout is very balanced with the 48-hour power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock and the moon phases aperture at 6. Introduced in 1998, the reference 5056P remained in production until 2006 and it was manufactured only in platinum, in two series. First series examples featured caliber 315/199 and second series examples from 2004 onwards featured a modified caliber 315/299. The present 5056P from circa 2002 is an exemplary example from the first series. Preserved in exceptional overall condition, the present example is offered with full set of accessories. To the best of our knowledge, it is estimated that only 1,500 examples of the 5056P were ever produced throughout its production span and less than 80 pieces have appeared publicly in auction, rendering this a rare opportunity to acquire this very special wristwatch for the discerning collectors. Please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to various charities.
