PATEK PHILIPPE YELLOW GOLD TEN DAY TOURBILLON REF. 5101J

The ref. 5101 was released in 2003 and in production until circa 2012. The 18K yellow gold version was first made in 2012 and only in small quantities making it the rarest of all the ref. 5101s. Approximately 500 examples were made in platinum, and it is estimated that less than 50 were made in yellow gold. The yellow gold had a retail price of 331,000 CHF during its short production run. The massive, deco-inspired case housed the in-house, custom-built caliber TO-28-20 REC 10J PS IRM, a masterpiece of modern watchmaking. The movement boasts a 10-day power reserve that utilizes twin mainspring barrels that work in tandem. Service-sealed, this yellow gold watch is one of the last ref. 5101s to ever leave the factory. Preserved in mint condition with its large format certificate wallet, including presentation box and chronometer certificate, it can now be purchased for a fraction of its original retail price representing incredible value.
