This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.
Consigned by the family of the original owner the present ref. 5041 is preserved in very good overall condition. It has furthermore never been offered in public before.
Available exclusively in white gold, reference 5041 is the rarest of all the perpetual calendar watches of Patek Philippe's standard production.

Although the exact production numbers are not publicly known, reference 5041 is clearly one of the scarcest models of modern times featuring a perpetual calendar and is rarely offered at auction.
