Catalogue Essay
To usher in the new millennium, Patek Philippe introduced the ref. 5100 as part of a limited edition set of four watches. Each encased in a different precious metal, the ref. 5100 featured Patek Philippe's uniquely angular "Manta Ray" case, not to be confused with the Gondolo.
Production numbers varied by metal, with the most common in 1500 yellow gold examples. 750 were crafted in pink gold (present example), 500 in white gold, and just 300 in platinum.
As Patek Philippe's mandate has always been advancing traditions into the future, the ref. 5100 honored their heritage while looking ahead. Its sharp, structured case contrasted prevailing styles, demonstrating innovation on an occasion when most would opt for nostalgia.
With only 750 examples in pink gold, this ref. 5100R commemorates a pivotal moment in time and Patek Philippe's history. Only a privileged few will own this Millennium tribute that combines exclusivity, avant-garde design, and the enduring prestige of Patek Philippe. Offered here in excellent condition along with all of its accompanying accessories.
