Patek Philippe’s first known perpetual calendar wristwatch, movement number 97’975, dates to 1925, and since then the perpetual calendar has been a mainstay of their iconic line of complicated wristwatches. Their first serially produced perpetual calendar timepiece was the historic reference 1526 launched in 1941 and discontinued in 1952. Each of its successors has gone on to become a milestone watch, appreciated for their technical innovations and classic designs. Patek Philippe introduced the reference 5940 in 2012 as a replacement to the exquisite reference 5040, both of which are the only two non-round perpetual calendar models produced by the brand. It was originally offered in yellow gold with pink and white gold examples released in 2014. The present pink gold model is offered for the first time and is both attractive and comfortable measuring 37mm in diameter. The elegant case features a beautiful dial with applied pink gold Breguet numerals, gold feuille hands, and dot minute track to the perimeter. The art-deco inspired font on the date wheel is a subtle touch offering the watch a heightened vintage appeal. The reference 5940 houses the caliber 240 first introduced in 1977 with a 22K gold micro-rotor, allowing for an ultra-slim profile. This perpetual calendar wristwatch is offered with its original accessories and is a reminder of the nearly 100-year history of Patek Philippe’s successful line of complicated wristwatches.
