Notes

Ref. 5039 Production of this reference started in 1996. Originally the watch was available in white, yellow and pink gold, and is now only offered in white and yellow gold. This reference was never produced in platinum, and pieces in pink gold are exceptionally rare, as they were only made during the first 4 years of production. The 5049, the companion watch to the 5039, was produced in 1998, in a limited edition of 20 pieces in platinum, for Boodle & Dunthorne?s bicentenary.
