Patek 5100 Manta

I think this watch made to celebrate the year 2000 is a little under appreciated but not unloved. Imagine the commitment from Mr Stern to develop a bespoke movement for a limited edition run with 10 days of power?!
Anyway, I love it, as much for its case shape as for the movement. The only thing I would change is the case material: if I could have got a Pt one I most certainly would have!
Thanks for looking.

Indeed underrated but I for one like that shape. The dial looks bit introvert which matches the case shape. I like it a lot

I think your YG version is the one to own! Every combo is good--the rose gold with grey dial is awfully lovely, too. But for my money you've got the best one.
True beauty!

I Miss That Patek

Remember those days back when.... and annual calendar.... and that timepiece is a wonderful example when Patek cared and innovated........ As for winding, I also agree about the 5100 versus the 3970er; as the crown had more resistive feel on the 3970. jmh...
I picked up one last year…

Definitely a unique look. Took me a while to find a good one in white gold. ...

I was hinting around that in my post. When David left Stern in NYC service combined with the unqualified kid at the helm I knew it was downhill for Patek. Happily, we have so many truly innovative TRUE independents in the market today that PP has made the...
Totally agree !
