The Ferrari Story : This is where the 5000G becomes really special. The reference was reportedly born from a proposed collaboration between Patek Philippe and Ferrari in the early 1990s. The partnership ultimately never materialized, but the watch survived. Its black high-contrast dial, graphic Arabic numerals and instrument-like layout were directly inspired by Ferrari dashboards. Collectors have therefore long associated the reference 5000 with this fascinating “Ferrari project that never was”.
Why we bought it ? Much more than an unusual Calatrava. The 5000G is the surviving watch from one of the most fascinating unrealized projects in modern Patek Philippe history. Ferrari-inspired design, legendary caliber 240 micro-rotor, only 1,000 white-gold examples produced and, in this case, an exceptional 1992 Full Set with a virtually new strap. Rare, historically fascinating and completely unlike a conventional Calatrava.
