Notes

Patek Philippe, Reference 5041 G This reference is launched in 1995 and remained in production until circa 2003. The Ref. 5041 is undoubtedly the rarest and probably the least produced modern perpetual calendar. With a total production believed to be from 30 to 40 units only, the Ref. 5041 (available in white gold only) had various minor differences in comparison to its sister Ref. 5040: - The bezel, while reference 3940 has a rounded bezel, this reference has an enlarged, flat bezel. - The dial, only available in black on reference 3941, its differences lie mainly in the outer minute markers (rather than a rail track, it has simple dot markers) and the Breguet numerals rather than Arabic numerals.
