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.

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. In excellent overall condition the present model is fresh to the market.
