Catalogue Essay
-Patek Philippe's reference 5140 came to market in 2006, replacing the previous reference 3940. Though Patek Philippe’s automatic perpetual calendar movement, the caliber 240 Q, remained intact, the case dimensions increased from a classic 36mm to a more contemporary 37.2mm. Additionally, the design and text of the dial were updated to match Patek Philippe’s other contemporary offerings and to allow for enhanced legibility. The slim profile, fluid and iconic Calatrava case, and practical function make for a highly desirable timepiece for the modern man or woman.

-The present version, cased in pink gold and featuring a silver opaline dial was introduced in 2014.

-Patek Philippe discontinued all the case metal and dial configurations of the reference 5140 by 2016, and replaced it with the reference 5327 which is currently in production.
