In 1994, link Patek Philippe introduced the reference 5004. Like its contemporary, the 3970, it uses a Lemania base caliber, but adds a split-seconds link function (or rattrapante). link The package of the 5004 is impressive: it still measures just 36mm in diameter and 15mm in thickness, with a massive crown that operates the rattrapante function.

One specific memory that comes to mind for me is a trip I took to Paris link with my family in 2014. My father, who lived there as a teenager when his father was in the Foreign Service, was celebrating his 50th high school reunion. I was in my mid-20s and had firmly crossed the line into watch link obsession to the point where my own selfish preparations for the trip involved scouting watch boutiques and vintage watch dealers just to see all the models I had only read about in link the pages of Hodinkee.
