Originally launched in 2012, the reference 5940 pays tribute to the tortue shape popular with Patek Philippe during the late 1920s. It also represents the first time the firm presented a perpetual calendar complication dressed in this bold shape. The present model with black dial was not available until 2015 and was made in a limited production run, as the reference was discontinued in 2017.
