  • Catalogue Essay

    With the new millennium, Patek Philippe offered to collectors a wristwatch that was both technically challenging and wonderfully rendered. The reference 5100 was their commemorative limited edition wristwatch with 10-day power reserve in a flared “Manta Ray” styled cased. The movement featured two tandem mainspring barrels to achieve 240 hours when fully wound. In 2003, Patek Philipp released the reference 5101P 10-day wristwatch with tourbillon. Encased in an elegant elongated rectangular with stepped flanks and strong Art Deco vibes, this model embodies the notion on haute horlogerie. Patek Philippe has a restrained design aesthetic, which often means a seemingly time only watch can often to be much more than appears and the 10-day tourbillon wristwatch offers collectors a contemporary modern wristwatch. The platinum example was replaced in 2009 with a pink gold version, which was replaced in 2011 in white and in 2012 by a yellow gold version.

    The present reference 5101P is factory sealed and complete with certificate of origin and presentation box.
