Courtesy of Hondinkee:...man do I want a perpetual calendar! Introducing The Patek Philippe 5940 Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar (Live Photos + Pricing) no stranger to perpetual calendar watches . Examples from the brand are consistently sought after by collectors around the world - hell, Patek has been makign them since 1925 when they are credited with introducing the first QP wristwatch in history. Cushion shaped watches have also been popular at Patek Philippe since the Art Deco movement hit Europe. This year at Basel, Patek combined the two for the latest ultra-thin, self-winding cushion-cased perpetual calendar, ref. 5940J. Read on for first impressions and live images. This has been a busy year for the Geneva based company, we already showed you the 5711 white dialed Nautilus, and have yet to show you the latest grand comp, the 5204. The 5940 was a nice surprise within the mix, featuring a welcomed perpetual calendar addition to the historic 240 caliber, a movement first introduced in 1977 that brought with it a 22k gold micro-rotor. Use of this base caliber has allowed the 5940 to measure in at a svelte 8.6mm thin. The case of the 5940 is 18K gold and holds a creamy off-white dial to complement. Applied Breguet numerals and leaf shaped hands frame the symmetrically laid out perpetual calendar complication. Overall the design would not look out of place for a 1930 Art Deco showpiece from Patek. The 1940J should be available later this year with a price of $91,400.
