Pre-owned Patek Philippe Complications Perpetual Calendar ref 5140R-001. While some brands use complications to create bold, highly technical displays, Patek has long favored elegance and restraint. That's the philosophy behind the Complications collection, which focuses on useful mechanical functions beyond simply telling the time. Whether it's a chronograph, annual calendar, dual-time display, or perpetual calendar, the goal is to add functionality without sacrificing refinement. The ref. 5140R-001 is one of the collection's most celebrated perpetual calendars. A perpetual calendar automatically accounts for the varying lengths of months and even leap years, requiring no manual correction until the year 2100. Despite the complexity of the mechanism, Patek presents the information with remarkable clarity. The day of the week is displayed within the sub-dial at 9 o'clock, while the month appears within the matching register at 3 o'clock. At 6 o'clock, a moonphase display is framed by the date indication, creating the classic tri-compax layout collectors associate with many of the brand's most iconic perpetual calendars.
