Catalogue Essay
• Manually wound and focused solely on timekeeping, the Patek Philippe Ref. 5100 features an impressive ten-day power reserve. When it was introduced in 2000, this was a significant achievement, far surpassing the typical 36 to 48 hours offered by most watches. The movement is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback and showcases four beautifully decorated bridges. It is also chronometer certified, reflecting its precision and quality.
• The case design pays tribute to the vintage Ref. 2554, which was inspired by the elegant form of a manta ray. This influence is charmingly illustrated in the booklet, where an image of the sea creature appears on the inner cover.
• Drawing on timeless design elements, this 18K yellow gold present example is preserved in excellent overall condition and is accompanied by its full set of accessories. It offers a compelling opportunity for collectors who appreciate mechanical innovation paired with vintage-inspired elegance.
