Provenance
Here we have a full set of unworn ref. 5026s made to celebrate the turn of the millennium, now 25 years ago. This neo-vintage set doesn’t fail to please with unique and interesting dials that were made especially for this limited production set. Each of the dials is described in detail on their respective Certificates of Origin:J (yellow gold) Grene Argente RomanG (white gold) Bleu Soleil Roman Pt. BlancR (rose gold) Ardoise Soleil Roman Pt. BlancP (platinum) Noir Soleil Roman Pt. BlancsIt is believed that 130 sets of ref. 5026s were made to celebrate the start of the new Millenium. Originally sold from 1999-2001, few sets have surfaced and even fewer with a complete set with the original leather Patek Philippe presentation suitcases and four full sets of paperwork.
