Description
The story behind the Patek Philippe 5100 is that Patek has a propensity to make commemorative watches to mark important anniversaries and milestones, like their own 100 year birthday, or long standing important partnerships like the special edition watches for Wempe and Tiffany. The reference 5100 was made to commemorate the turn of the century in 2000. Given the importance of the occasion, they brought out the first 10 day power reserve movement ever created by any manufacturer, ever, in a wristwatch. Further, Patek used this unique case shape, which was inspired by the manta ray. This modern great is inspired by the vintage Patek Philippe reference 2554.

Uniquely shaped case in 18k with dimensions of 46mm long by 34mm wide. Front and back crystals are sapphire. The crown is protected by the shoulders surrounding it.

Movement is the manual winding Patek Philippe Caliber 28-20 with 29 jewels, many of which are in gold chatons, free sprung Gyromax balance which is adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and in 5 positions, and is stamped with the Geneva Seal. The 10 days of power reserve are provided by twin barrels.

Dial is silvered, almost white, with applied golden hour markers and arabic numerals, gorgeous dauphine hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and 10 days power reserve indicator.

Strap is Patek Philippe black alligator with gold Patek tang buckle.

This important Patek Philippe wristwatch in mint condition is complete with Patek box, commemorative coin and stand and all papers.
