Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

Produced in a limited edition, reference 5100 was launched in 2000 to celebrate the new millenium. The prestigious Geneva maker made a total of 3,000 pieces of reference 5100: 1,500 examples were made in yellow gold, 750 in pink gold, 450 in white gold, the 300 in platinum with a flawless Top Wesselton diamond set between the lugs at 6 o'clock.

Of highly distinctive case form, reference 5100 is Patek Philippe's first model featuring a ten-day power reserve. Made in a limited edition, this watch can never be recreated exactly as the firm destroyed the tools that were necessary for making the reference to preserve its limited-edition distinctiveness and make sure the model will never be made again.
