Full-Cataloguing
With its launch in 1996, over a decade after the introduction of the reference 3940, the 5038 mirrors its sister reference closely, sharing a movement and case shape. However, the reference 5038 adds a bit of flair with its hobnail decorated bezel and a black lacquered dial with white painted Roman numerals.
The present example is offered with its full set of accessories and preserved in excellent overall condition. For collectors looking to acquire a handsome and rare perpetual calendar by Patek Philippe, this is the perfect option.
