Patek Philippe

About this watch The Certificate of origin states that this wristwatch was originally fitted with a silver dial featuring applied white gold “Breguet” Arabic numerals. It was during a service, at the request of the watch’s owner, that Patek Philippe replaced it with a black dial featuring also applied white gold “Breguet” Arabic numerals. The original silver dial is included with the accessories, which comprise two new vintage PP straps from stock. –– Patek Philippe, Reference 5040 Introduced in 1992, reference 5040 is a tonneau-shaped wristwatch produced in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold, and platinum.
