An exceptional and beautifully preserved example of the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar reference 5040R in 18k rose gold, sold new in Germany in 1995 and accompanied by an outstanding and historically rich full set. The watch appears to be completely unpolished, with the hallmarks on the left case flank remaining as crisp and deep as the day they left the atelier — a clear indication that no polishing has ever softened the edges or compromised the original geometry. The rose-gold tonneau case retains its perfect definition and elegant proportions. This 5040R comes with a complete full set, including the original box, rotating stand, second solid caseback, stylus, and all documents. Importantly, the watch is accompanied by two Patek Philippe Japan service papers, dated 2012 and 2019, confirming that the watch has been impeccably maintained over the years. Adding to its provenance, the set includes a signed congratulatory letter from Henri Stern, addressed to the original buyer — a rare and meaningful historical detail. The black Patek Philippe crocodile strap is in excellent condition, fitted with a Patek Philippe rose-gold buckle. The iconic silver dial with applied Breguet numerals is flawless, and the hands match perfectly, completing the elegant aesthetic of this perpetual calendar. Considering its rarity, condition, and completeness, the 5040R represents remarkable value in the world of Patek Philippe perpetual calendars — especially when compared to the more traditional 3940R, which today commands roughly double the price. A truly exceptional and collector-grade example of the 5040R — unpolished, fully documented, perfectly maintained, and accompanied by an extraordinary provenance.
