Patek Releases The Last 50 Ref 5004 Split-Seconds Perpetuals In Stainless Steel

The 5004 was introduced in 1996 and is essentially a 3970 with a split-seconds chronograph. Simple enough, right? Well, this split-seconds perpetual calendar was so difficult to produce and so costly, Patek only made about 12 per year, and even stopped production at one point while working on a separate split-seconds caliber.

After just 15 short years, the Ref 5004 is being retired by Patek. To celebrate, they have created the last fifty of these uber-chronos to be made in stainless steel (all previous models were in precious metals) and sold exclusively at the Geneva Patek Philippe salon.
