  • Catalogue Essay

    - Patek Philippe introduced the reference 3940 in 1985, replacing the reference 3450, as a more modern, less angular wristwatch considered by many enthusiasts as one of the finest examples of a complicated timepiece with round case and micro-rotor-based automatic movement. Its successor, the reference 5140, was introduced in 2006 and continued to use the prestigious caliber 240Q, however the model was updated with a slightly larger 37mm diameter case, compared to the 36mm of the reference 3940. Reference 5140 also introduced more daring dial colors such as a brown dial fitted on the rose gold version and a metallic blue dial on the platinum edition.

    - The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5140P-013 features the rarer black dial with diamond-set indexes exuding a cool tuxedo-style appeal compared to its peers in other metals.

    - Well-preserved and accompanied by its Certificate of Origin from circa 2017, this ref. 5140 with a slim profile and a dash of extravagance will certainly be one of the most good looking timepiece for a collection.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
