The reverse of the watch is engraved 'Year 2000' as it is a commemorative piece to celebrate the arrival of the new millennium in the year 2000. Reference 5100 is historically significant in the development of Patek Philippe complicated wristwatches. Incorporating dual main spring barrels, it is the first 10-day power reserve wristwatch ever made by the company.
