Crafted in 18k white gold and dating to the year 1999, this remarkable timepiece is offered in excellent condition and accompanied by its original box. Renowned for its unique case design and classical complications, the Ref. 5040 stands as one of Patek Philippe’s most recognizable perpetual calendar models.

The elegant tonneau-shaped case in 18k white gold sets this reference apart from traditional round designs, reflecting a bold yet timeless aesthetic.
