Our remarks

Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5055G-001 – Power Reserve, Moonphase & Date – 18k White Gold – Pin Buckle – Box & Papers – 1998 – Patek Service 2024

We are thrilled to offer this elegant and increasingly desirable Patek Philippe Calatrava Reference 5055G-001, crafted in 18k white gold and distinguished by its asymmetrical dial layout featuring power reserve, moonphase, and date — one of the most poetic and characterful configurations in the modern Calatrava family.

Originally delivered in 1998, this example embodies the refined design language that defined Patek Philippe’s late 20th-century mechanical artistry. The 5055 line is regarded today as one of the maison’s most charming complications pieces — blending classical restraint with a subtly avant-garde dial architecture that has earned the reference cult status among collectors.

The black opaline dial is beautifully balanced despite its asymmetry, displaying a power reserve indicator between 9 and 10 o’clock, running seconds at 4 o’clock, an aperture-style date at 6, and an elegant moonphase disc. Applied white-gold Arabic numerals and feuille hands create a warm contrast against the dark dial surface, while the sapphire display back reveals the manually wound Caliber 240 PS IRM C LU — an exquisitely finished movement showcasing Patek Philippe’s signature micro-rotor architecture.

The 18k white gold case retains excellent proportions with crisp lugs, matched by a signed white-gold folding clasp. Its elegant 36 mm size sits perfectly on the wrist, offering both classic presence and exceptional wearability. Notably, this example benefits from a full Patek Philippe factory service in 2024, adding significant value and long-term confidence for the next custodian.

This full set includes:

- Original Patek Philippe presentation box

- Original papers (1998)

- Patek Philippe pin buckle in 18k white gold

- Recent Patek Philippe Service documentation (2024)

Highly sought after for its rare dial layout, refined complication set, and balanced proportions, the Ref. 5055G has become one of the standout neo-vintage Calatrava references — combining timeless elegance with unmistakable Patek character.

“We absolutely love these early complicated Calatravas — the 5055G’s asymmetrical charm, moonphase romance, and refined white-gold presence make it one of the most soulful Patek designs of the era.”
