Patek Philippe

Ref. 5140P

A rare and attractive platinum perpetual calendar wristwatch with blue dial and presentation box

Read Conditions of Sale
When Patek Philippe introduced the reference 5140 in 2006, it marked the natural evolution of one of the manufacture’s most emblematic complications: the perpetual calendar. As successor to the legendary 3940, the 5140 maintained the same spirit of understated sophistication and technical refinement, while offering a more contemporary interpretation through its slightly larger 37.2mm case and sleeker dial design.

Crafted in platinum, the present example stands as the most visually striking of the entire lineage, featuring a mesmerizing blue sunburst dial that immediately distinguishes it from its counterparts. The metallic tone shimmers between deep navy and electric azure depending on the light, lending the watch a quiet grandeur—cool, reserved, and unmistakably modern. The elegant dauphine hands, applied white-gold indices, and discreet minute track all harmonize perfectly within the balanced tri-compax layout that has become synonymous with Patek Philippe’s perpetual calendars.

Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
