Catalogue Essay
In 2006, Patek Philippe replaced the ref. 3940 with the upgraded ref. 5140. While featuring a case and dial that closely resemble its predecessor, the ref. 5140 boasts a slightly larger case at 37mm in diameter and a larger date ring to enhance legibility. The present example from circa 2008 is crafted in sleek white gold with an attractive opaline silvery dial, and it comes with its Certificate of Origin stamped by Tiffany & Co. and its additional case back.
