PATEK PHILIPPE | REF 5020G 'LUMINOUS GREY DIAL', A POSSIBLY UNIQUE WHITE GOLD PERPETUAL CALENDAR CHRONOGRAPH WRISTWATCH WITH MOON PHASES AND LEAP YEAR INDICATION, MADE IN 2009 | 百達翡麗 |5020G型號「LUMINOUS GREY DIAL」白金萬年曆計時腕錶備月相及閏年顯示，2009年製

Launched in 1994, the 5020, also known as the ‘TV screen' due to its particular cushion-shaped case design, is an extremely rare variant of Patek Philippe most important series, the perpetual calendar chronograph. The reference was only in production for about eight years and was available in yellow, pink or white gold, and platinum. The reference was a commercial failure at the time, with fewer than 800 pieces made in total during gits production run, of which only 100 pieces were housed in white gold (compared to 350 in yellow gold, 150 in rose gold and 150 in Platinum). The 5020s unusual case design houses the legendary Lemania based caliber M.27-70/155 with Geneva Seal which was also used in its predecessor reference 3970 and successor reference 5970.

This example, without doubt, can be considered one of the rarest 5020s in any metal to appear on the market. What makes this example so unusual is the special-order grey dial featuring Breguet 12, tachymeter scale and six luminous numerals and luminous hands. This dial is further signed with the monogram of the original owner at 6 o'clock. Sold on the April 15th 2011, this watch has never been offered for sale publicly before.

Presented in excellent condition, this watch is a possibly unique variant on one of Patek Phillipe’s rarest and most unusual grand complications.
