完整圖錄內容
• Rare Platinum and Salmon dial variant
• Factory double-sealed
First introduced in 2003, the Patek Philippe ref. 5101 is distinguished by its elongated stepped case, drawing inspiration from the Art Deco forms of the manufacture’s historical timepieces. Produced in platinum until 2009, the reference offers a discreet interpretation of the tourbillon, its understated appearance concealing a highly complicated movement.
At first glance, the ref. 5101 may appear to be a simple time-only wristwatch. The sapphire crystal caseback, however, reveals the manually wound Calibre TO 28-20 REC 10J PS and its elegantly constructed tourbillon carriage. Housed within the rectangular case, the movement incorporates two tandem mainspring barrels providing an exceptional 240-hour, or 10-day, power reserve, alongside a tourbillon composed of 72 individual components.
The present example is particularly attractive with its salmon dial, accented by bold black Breguet numerals and feuille hands, all housed in platinum. Preserved in factory double-sealed condition, the watch offers the rare opportunity to acquire a completely untouched example of one of Patek Philippe’s most distinctive modern tourbillon wristwatches.
