40 - Patek Philippe - Calatrava

Patek Philippe - Calatrava A very elegant, rare, and complex Geneva wristwatch with a perpetual calendar and moon phase in an extra-flat white gold case Movement No. 5551243, Ref. 5139G-001, Cal. 240Q, Case No. 4736842, Dimensions 38 mm, circa 2015, Origin: Switzerland, Original box, Original certificate, Original gold clasp Case: 18K white gold, “Clous de Paris” bezel. Dial: Opaline rhodium-plated. Movement: Automatic. The ultra-thin perpetual calendar with displays for day, date, month, leap year, and moon phase is one of Patek Philippe’s flagship models. The light-colored dial is clear and finely balanced: the displays for the day of the week, date, month, and leap year are well integrated to ensure easy readability, while the moon phase at 6 o’clock adds a discreet accent. As a perpetual calendar, the watch automatically accounts for months of varying lengths as well as leap years—a fascinating and practical benefit of one of the most demanding classical complications. Patek Philippe first unveiled reference 5139 to the public in 2008, featuring a case only slightly larger than that of 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 reinterpreted in a modern design language. Inside, a particularly thin self-winding movement with a micro-rotor allows for the watch’s elegant silhouette. All of 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. Movement: very good, in working order, cleaning recommended.
