Dial: Opaline silvery. Movm.: Automatic. Supreme craftsmanship: Patek Philippe‘s Grand Complications represent the centuries-old amalgamation of superior watchmaking with technical perfection. Even today this area of watchmaking presents a challenge to every watchmaker. Reference 5140 is part of this series; it was introduced in 2007 as successor of the legendary perpetual calendar reference 3940 and regarded as the flattest automatic wristwatch with perpetual calendar. The seasoned automatic movement with perpetual calendar, calibre 240 Q was retained, while the case was resized from the traditional 36 mm to a modern 37.2 mm. The dial was also updated for better readability, with all three auxiliary dials now displaying more than just one function: The day of the week is displayed in combination with the 24-hour display, the months in combination with the leap year and the date in combination with the moon phases. Applied gold indexes and gold Dauphine hands on the opaline-silvered dial complete the elegant overall appearance of the watch. The flat profile view and the iconic Calatrava case make reference 5140 the embodiment of understatement and sophistication. This timepiece is in excellent condition. It comes with certificate, original documents and original box, gold deployant clasp, as well as a setting pin and a solid case back – a statement for those who value consistency over trend. Case: very good. Dial: very good. Movm.: very good, capable of running, cleaning recommended.
