Featuring a perpetual calendar complication, this reference allows clients to own a Patek Philippe perpetual calendar wristwatch housed in an Art-Deco-inspired cushion-shaped case. Initially available in yellow gold, the white gold variant was introduced two years later in 2014, featuring a silvery white dial, followed by a black dial variant the subsequent year.
Measuring a comfortable 37mm in diameter, the elegant case of the ref. 5940 houses a stunning dial adorned with applied white gold Breguet numerals, an exquisite detail appreciated by collectors. The Art-Deco-inspired font of the date wheel adds a subtle yet charming touch, enhancing the watch's vintage appeal.
The present example with a silvery white dial from circa 2014 is very well-preserved and comes complete with its full set of accessories, including the original additional solid caseback and a winding box. With its attractive wrist presence, the ref. 5940 is highly appreciated by collectors looking for a perpetual calendar wristwatch from the firm that pioneered the very first self-winding perpetual calendar wristwatch.
