Available in precious metals, originally in 18k yellow gold (5940J), followed by white gold (5940G), rose gold (5940R), and eventually platinum (5940P), the reference boasts Breguet numerals on a beautifully balanced dial. It seamlessly displays the day, date, month, leap year, and 24-hour indication alongside a poetic moon phase.
Caliber 240 Q: Ultra-Thin Engineering
The heartbeat of the 5940 is the legendary Caliber 240 Q. This self-winding movement is a marvel of miniaturization, measuring a mere 3.88mm in thickness despite housing 275 individual components.
- Micro-Rotor: An off-center 22k gold micro-rotor is recessed into the mainplate, allowing for the watch’s incredibly thin overall case profile (8.6mm).
- Perpetual Calendar Module: Mechanically programmed to automatically adjust for months of varying lengths and leap years until the year 2100.
- Finishing: Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement exhibits flawless Côtes de Genève, chamfered bridges, and polished edges, proudly bearing the Patek Philippe Seal.
Operating at 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour (3 Hz), it provides a power reserve of up to 48 hours, ensuring precision and reliability for the modern wearer.
