Notes

Ref. 5140 Following the Ref. 3940, first introduced in 1985, Patek Philippe announced in Basel in 2006 the successor of this true classic, the newly redesigned Reference 5140. Featuring the same self-winding caliber 240 Q, it varied in its case size, now measuring 37.2 mm versus the 36 mm of the previous case. The new design ensured the continuity of this timeless classic in today's market.
