Catalogue Essay
Launched to commemorate the advent of the new millennium, the ref. 5100 was introduced in 2000 and notably features an intriguing case design, combined with a game-changing movement equipped with a 10-day power reserve.
The case design of the ref. 5100 is drawn from the historical ref. 2442, nicknamed “Manta Ray” for its dramatically flared casebands that resemble the giant, charismatic sea creature. Realized in the three gold colours and platinum, all versions were produced as limited editions, with the platinum one being the rarest and most sought-after:
1500 examples in 18k yellow gold with silvered dial
750 examples in 18k pink gold with anthracite dial
450 examples in 18k white gold with blue dial
300 examples in platinum with black dial
Fresh-to-the-market and is possibly the 52nd example to be identified, the present ref. 5100P-001 is one of 300 examples boasting this desirable configuration and will certainly appeal to collectors of important mechanical marvels.
