The 5078 entered production in 2005 as one of the most restrained expressions of Patek Philippe's minute repeater: a 38mm case built around the caliber R 27 PS, a self-winding micro-rotor movement of 342 parts, with no second complication competing for room inside the case. Several dial executions are grand feu or champlevé enamel, hand-finished before the case is closed around the movement.
Key dates.
- Reference 5078 enters production, initially in platinum
- Black lacquer dial version introduced alongside the original white enamel dial
- The caliber R 27 PS measures 5.05mm thick despite carrying a full minute-repeater striking train.
- Patek Philippe currently produces the 5078 only in 18k white gold.
- The striking mechanism is activated by a slide built into the left flank of the case, not a pushpiece at the crown.

How do I check a Patek Philippe 5078G with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
