Patek Philippe - Calatrava A very elegant, rare and complicated Geneva wristwatch with perpetual calendar and moon phase in an extra flat white gold case Movm. No. 5551243, Ref. 5139G-001, Cal. 240Q, Case No. 4736842, Dimensions 38 mm, circa 2015, Origin Schweiz, Original box, Original certificate, gold original clasp Case: 18 K white gold, "Clous de Paris" bezel. Dial: Opaline rhodium-plated. Movm.: Automatic. The ultra-thin perpetual calendar with indications for day, date, month, leap year and moon phase is one of Patek Philippe’s flagship models. The light-coloured dial is clear and finely balanced: the displays for weekday, date, month and leap year are well integrated to ensure easy readability, while the moon-phase t 6 o’clock adds a discreet accent. As a perpetual calendar, the watch automatically accounts for months of different lengths as well as leap years - a fascinating and practical benefit of one of the most demanding classical complications. Patek Philippe first presented reference 5139 to the public in 2008, featuring a case only slightly larger than thatof its predecessor, reference 5039. With this model, Patek Philippe succeeded in housing the perpetual calendar’s complications in a slimmer case and complementing it with the classic “clous de Paris” bezel – an iconic timepiece interpreted in a modern design language. Inside, a particularly thin self-winding movement with micro-rotor allows the watch’s elegant silhouette. All this makes reference 5139G-001 an excellent choice for enthusiasts of refined, understated complication watches who value elegant design, harmonious proportions and technical sophistication. Case: very good. Dial: very good. Movm.: very good, capable of running, cleaning recommended.
