Notes

This Patek Philippe 5040 Perpetual Calendar, made circa 1992, comes directly from a discerning Hong Kong collector who cherished it for over three decades. The timepiece features both original solid gold and sapphire exhibition casebacks, offering versatile display options for this horological masterpiece.

Housed in its distinctive tonneau-tortue shaped 18K yellow gold case with silver dial, the watch remains in remarkably
preserved condition—testament to the previous owner’s meticulous care. Complete with original certificate and pushing pin.

The 5040 represents a rare opportunity, being one of fewer than 1,800 examples crafted in yellow gold during its 1992-2007 production run. This exceptional piece combines historical significance, technical brilliance and distinguished provenance in one elegant package.
