Now here’s something special.

Patek Philippe is of course known for its dress watches — the splendid Calatrava that debuted in 1932 and continues to anchor the celebrated watchmaker’s catalog today. However, there are other dress watches within the Patek lineup that deserve recognition.

The Reference 5018 was an automatic ladies’ watch from the 1990s/early 2000s that was often found with gem-set dials and bezels. Predating somewhat the current Twenty~4 collection, it was an elegant, timeless design that still seems modern today.

This particular 5018 from the early 2000s is housed in a 32mm white gold case encrusted with baguette sapphires, plus a baguette sapphire bezel, a brushed case back, a sapphire crystal and a signed crown. It features a white enamel dial with a matching dauphine handset and diamond and sapphire indices. Powered by the Patek Philippe Calibre 24 automatic movement, it comes paired to a signed, black alligator strap with a signed deployant clasp.

In fantastic condition throughout, this rare “gem” of a Patek isn’t the type of dress watch that comes across our desks every day; it even comes with its certificate of origin.
