Lot Essay

Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 2001 and its subsequent sale on July 12th of the same year. Further accompanied by a Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated December 7th, 2001, a Patek Philippe leather envelope, product literature, a Patek Philippe presentation box and outer packaging.

Reference 5100, Patek Philippe's first model featuring a ten-days power reserve, was launched in 2000 to celebrate the new millennium. The present watch produced in yellow gold is part of only 1,500 pieces made. In addition, 750 pink gold were produced, 450 white gold and 300 platinum. Its case shape derives from the famous 2554 'Manta Ray,' and it is thought that this unusual type of design will never be put into production again.

To the best of our knowledge the present watch has never before been offered in public.
