This is what started it all for Modern Pateks in the 36mm + size group.
Forget lusting for a 57211 or an Aquanaut...... the precious metal complications were always what took my heart away.......
The late 90s were a time for the introduciton of 2 very amazing Patek Philippe timepieces.......
The legendary 5035 (1996) and the 5110 (2000).
The 5035 was the world's first Annual Calendar...... before this time you either purchased a 3 hand date Patek or a Perpetual Calendar.
The 5035 was groundbreaking, legendary and set the tone for the 21 century.
The reintroduction of the Patek WorldTime was literally amazing....... I was stopped in my tracks..... WOW - Patek had done it again.......
The 5110 was revolutionary in its day..... a massive size increase to 37mm, and flamboyant CROWN GUARDS!!!
Here are 2 pieces for my collection...... these are 2 compliations I can not part with...... (even for personal reasons)
The complicated Patek was completely changed by the introduction of these 2 classic models.....
