Patek Philippe launched this model, the 5101 in 2003 as a tribute to a rectangular tourbillon wristwatch produced form 1956 - 1957. This example is illustrated in Huber, M. & Banberry, A., Patek Philippe Pocket Watches, Vol. 1 Second Edition, pp. 178-179. The present watch boasts a combination of two rare complications: a 10-day power reserve and a tourbillon. The impressive triple-stepped case pays tribute to the firm's legendary Art Deco designs.
