Partially verified

The Patek Philippe Reference 5055R is a wristwatch from the manufacturer's Complications collection. It is constructed with a 36mm 18K rose gold case featuring broad lugs, a polished bezel, and a crown signed with the manufacturer's emblem. The watch features a salmon-champagne colored dial with Arabic indices, a moonphase aperture, a power reserve indicator, and a subsidiary seconds register. The timepiece is powered by the Calibre 240 micro-rotor movement, which is viewed through a sapphire crystal case back. The watch is presented on an alligator leather strap finished with a matching 18K gold deployant buckle. The design is characterized by an asymmetrical dial layout, which the source describes as being somewhat off the beaten path for the manufacturer. The watch is marked "SWISS MADE" at the base of the dial.

Object description

Case and Dial Design

The Patek Philippe Reference 5055R is housed in a 36mm 18K rose gold case. The design incorporates broad lugs and a polished bezel, paired with a crown that features the brand's signature. The watch is fitted with sapphire crystal to protect the dial surface.

The dial is finished in a salmon-champagne color and utilizes Arabic numerals for indices. The layout is notably asymmetrical, featuring a power reserve indicator, a subsidiary seconds register, and an integrated moonphase aperture with a date indicator. This configuration distinguishes the reference from more traditional Patek Philippe dial layouts.

Movement and Mechanics

The timepiece is powered by the Patek Philippe Calibre 240 movement, a self-winding mechanism characterized by its micro-rotor construction. This movement design is a core technical feature of the reference, contributing to the watch's profile and complication management.

The mechanical complexity of the piece is highlighted by the multi-functional display on the dial, which manages power reserve tracking, date tracking, and moonphase progression simultaneously. The integration of these features into the slim Calibre 240 is central to the reference's function.

Strap and Accessories

The watch is equipped with an alligator leather strap that is signed by the manufacturer. The strap is secured to the wrist via a matching gold deployant buckle, which is designed to coordinate with the 18K rose gold case.

The strap and buckle assembly represents the factory-specified configuration for this reference, maintaining the aesthetic theme of the gold case and the salmon-champagne dial.
