Specialist note

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with ruthenium dial and rose gold hour markers in 2000 and its subsequent sale on 17 January 2001

Consigned by its original owner, this watch has never been offered in public before and is furthermore preserved in very good overall condition.

Reference 5100, the firm's first model featuring a ten day power reserve, was launched in 2000 to celebrate the new millennium.

A total of 3,000 pieces was made including 1,500 examples in yellow gold, 750 in pink gold, 450 in white gold and 300 in platinum, the latter with a flawless Top Wesselton diamond set between the lugs at 6 o'clock. Reference 5100 is an exclusive, limited edition; the tools for producing the cases have been destroyed to make sure the model will never be made again.
