Patek Philippe Minute Repeaters are among the most sought after and lusted over watches in the world. The brand puts in painstaking effort to ensure each Minute Repeater is perfect and the result proves it. The Patek Philippe 5013 was released in 1992 as Pateks first automatic, perpetual calendar minute repeater with a retrograde date display. This reference was most produced in platinum and yellow gold, with rose gold being a rare sight. Patek Philippe believes rose gold to be the best metal to produce the ideal sound from the minute repeater, making the rose examples particularly special.
