Patek Philippe 5140P-017

Perpetual calendar

Monday, 4 July 2016

Within weeks of the Gondolo, a platinum perpetual calendar from the Paris Salon. The 5140P is the reference that defined modern Patek perpetual calendars for a generation — thin enough to wear daily, complex enough to matter, and in platinum, as serious as the complication deserves. If any single watch announced this collection's ambition, it was this one.

Collector's Note

Two months after the Gondolo, a platinum perpetual calendar from the Paris Salon. That's not a buying pattern — it's a statement of intent. The 5140 is the modern heir to the 3940, and in platinum it carries a weight (literal and figurative) that announces serious collecting has begun.
