Patek Philippe - Perpetual Calendar A very elegant, exquisite Geneva wristwatch with an English-language perpetual calendar, leap year display, and moon phase Movement No. 5979275, Ref. 5140R-011, Cal. 240Q, Case No. 6111103, Dimensions 37.2 mm, circa 2017, Origin: Switzerland, Original box, Original certificate, Accessories, original gold clasp Case: 18K red gold, glazed screw-down caseback. Dial: Opaline silver. Movement: Automatic. Supreme craftsmanship: Patek Philippe’s Grand Complications represent the centuries-old fusion of superior watchmaking with technical perfection. Even today, this field of watchmaking presents a challenge to every watchmaker. Reference 5140 is part of this series; it was introduced in 2007 as the successor to the legendary perpetual calendar reference 3940 and is regarded as the thinnest automatic wristwatch with a perpetual calendar. The proven automatic movement with perpetual calendar, Caliber 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 subsidiary dials now displaying more than one function: The day of the week is displayed alongside the 24-hour display, the months alongside the leap year indicator, and the date alongside the moon phases. Applied gold hour markers and gold Dauphine hands on the opaline-silvered dial complete the watch’s elegant overall appearance. The flat profile and the iconic Calatrava case make reference 5140 the epitome of understated sophistication. This timepiece is in excellent condition. It comes with a certificate, original documents, and the original box, a gold deployant clasp, as well as a setting pin and a solid case back—a statement for those who value consistency over trends. Case: very good. Dial: very good. Movement: very good, in working order, cleaning recommended.
