Catalogue Note
Accompanied by a Certificate of Origin and C.O.S.C. bulletin within a leather binder, as well as an Extract from the Archives confirming sale on February 23rd, 2005. Together with a Patek Philippe fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
Patek Philippe launched this the 5101P in 2003 as a tribute to a rectangular tourbillon wristwatch produced from 1956-1957. This example is illustrated in Huber, M. & Banberry, A., Patek Philippe Pocket Watches, Vol. 1, Second Edition, pp. 178-179.
The present watch boasts a combination of two rare complications: a 10-day power reserve and a tourbillon. The impressive triple-stepped case pays tribute to the firm's legendary Art Deco designs.
