From the family of Patek Philippe collecting royalty, this reference 5004P is far more than meets the eye.
Henry Graves Jr., one of the brand’s most devoted patrons, famously commissioned Patek Philippe in 1933 to create what would become the most complicated watch in the world. Known as the Supercomplication, it established a global auction record when it sold at Sotheby’s Geneva for approximately CHF 24 million in 2014.
The horological legacy of Henry Graves Jr. was continued by his grandson, Reginald ‘Pete’ Fullerton Jr., an important collector in his own right. His collection included the present reference 5004, a perpetual calendar split‑seconds chronograph wristwatch, which was sold by Sotheby’s in 2012 as part of the landmark Graves–Fullerton family collection.
