Catalogue Essay
The successor reference to the 5039, in production from 1996 until 2007, the 5139 improves upon its predecessor with a larger case diameter (38mm instead of 35.5mm). Just as the dial of the 5039 closely resembled the 3940, the 5139 echoes the dial of the successor of the 3940, the 5140. Later examples of the 5139 are accompanied by an additional solid caseback, such as the present watch, while earlier examples feature a sapphire caseback only.
The beautifully balanced and uncluttered perpetual calendar layout is a masterpiece of Patek Philippe’s design language. The present reference 5139 is preserved in excellent, nearly new overall condition, with its full suite of accessories.
