2000s Patek Philippe 5085/1A-001 Neptune 37mm Steel Black Dial Automatic Watch

Good pre-owned condition. Minor scuffs and scratches across metal surfaces. Minor signs of tropicalization on the dial (natural patina). Tested and calibrated timekeeping, passed water pressure test, flawless complications. Professional, free-of-charge polishing is available upon the buyer's request; all metal textures will remain as original. Clean dial, hands and hour markers. Backed by a 2-year warranty and a 30-day return window. Patek named the collection after the Roman God of the Sea (Neptune) to clearly define its aquatic, adventurous DNA alongside the Nautilus and Aquanaut. While the mighty Nautilus bracelets of this specific era famously relied on friction pins to hold their integrated bracelet links together, the Neptune upgraded to fully threaded, robust screw pins, making it arguably the more structurally robust bracelet design of the 1990s. Patek Philippe originally marketed the Neptune line as a versatile daily companion, utilizing the campaign tagline: "Ideal for sportswear and, at the same time, the perfect dress watch." Because of the lacquer and tritium/luminova formulas used during the late 90s and early 2000s, some black Neptune dials have begun to show minor tropicalization over time. SKU: 047434
