- The Patek Philippe Ref. 5059R is constructed with a four-body, solid pink gold case in an Officer style. The case features a polished finish, rounded band, and bezel, with straight lugs secured by pink gold screws. A distinct feature of this design is the hinged case back, which can be opened to view the movement through a transparent sapphire crystal. The white dial is marked with radial Roman numerals and features a central seconds hand alongside black oxidized gold feuille hands. The perpetual calendar layout includes a concentric retrograde sector for the days of the month, with auxiliary apertures for the day of the week at 9 o'clock, the month at 3 o'clock, the leap year at 12 o'clock, and the moon phases at 6 o'clock. An outer minute and 1/5th seconds track frames the indices.
