Full-Cataloguing
- Unlike typical perpetual calendars, this reference stands out from its peers thanks to its finely shaped unusual tonneau case, more often seen on early 20th century designs. Adhering to the firm’s DNA, the voluptuous case is further complemented by equally curvaceous Breguet numerals that accentuate the classic yet contemporary overall appearance of the timepiece.
- The present Patek Philippe ref. 5040G from the second series with 3.12 million movement number is fresh to the market from the original owner, remains in virtually unworn condition, and is further presented with its full set of accessories including its Certificate of Origin, setting pin, additional solid caseback and an additional winding presentation box.
- This ref. 5040G-018 provides an incredible chance for connoisseurs of fine timepieces to acquire a rare and highly desirable perpetual calendar wristwatch featuring a distinctive case shape.
