Entering into the new millennium, Patek Philippe commemorated by launching a series of limited edition wristwatches including the reference 5100. Introduced as a set of four watches encased in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum, the reference featured the uniquely designed “Manta Ray” case. A common misunderstanding with the Gondolo, the Manta Ray feature angular case bands, only witnessed on the respective reference.
The reference 5100 was produced in various quantities depending on the case material. With most examples produced in yellow gold with 1500 examples, the pink gold variation was only produced with 750 examples. White gold was produce with 500 examples and the rarest of all, 300 pieces in platinum.
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.
