Patek Philippe made the first perpetual calendar wristwatch in 1925.
This Patek Philippe Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar, reference 5140, was introduced in 2006, replacing the model ref. 3940. It was then replaced by model reference 5327.

The three registers of the brown sunburst dial display the various functions symmetrically. The subdials display the counter for leap years and months at three o'clock, the month and day/night indicators at nine o'clock, and the moon phase, which is surrounded by the days of the month, at six o'clock. The gold dauphine hands and dart indices add a daring touch to the dial.

This example is in very good, unpolished condition and is accompanied by a Patek Philippe presentation box and a 2010 extract from the Patek Philippe Archives. In addition, Twain Time provides a one-year limited warranty.
