    First introduced in 2006, reference 5140 took design cues from its predecessor, reference 3940, with its elegant case design and iconic dial configuration. It most notably displayed a slightly larger 37mm case. Like all other complicated references produced by the firm, the present watch is presented with a solid case back and sapphire crystal case back, which allows the wearer to admire the complex movement.

    The present watch is offered without reserve and accompanied by all its original accessories such as the Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated 16 June, 2014, additional caseback, setting pin, product literature, presentation box and outer packaging. Preserved in excellent condition, it has barely seen any wear throughout its lifetime.

  • Artist Biography

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    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.
