The reference 5101 was launched in 2003, initially offered in platinum. Over the course of the next decade, the watch was subsequently offered in pink, white and yellow gold. Patek Philippe was the first company to co🌞mbine a 10-day power reserve with a tourbillon in a wristwatch with its creation of the 5101. The movement, powered by 2 barrels with the tourbillon visible through the sapphire crystal display back, is housed in a large, rectangular case honoring a tourbillon wristwatch created by Patek Philippe in 1956/57. This example is illustrated in Huber, M. & Banberry, A., Patek Philippe Pocket Watches, Vol. 1 Second Edition, pp. 178-179. The case itself evokes Art Deco designs with a curved profile and stepped case band.

♔This is the first time a co🃏mplete set has been offered at auction, as well as the first time for a white gold example.
