Lot Essay
The present ref. 5040 is an attractive and fresh to the market representative of the model, featuring a pink gold case, the rarest variant.
Reference 5040
Introduced in 1992 and discontinued in 2007, the reference 5040 was produced in two series, the first series bearing movement numbers beginning in 77, the second series began in approximately 1998 with the movement numbers beginning with 312.
It was available in all gold colours as well as in platinum and is distinguished by its tonneau tortue case, a style typical of the 1920s and 1930s, but much less common in modern times.
Tonneau indicates a "barrel" shape (indeed tonneau means barrel in French) with narrow ends and wide center. Tortue (turtle, in French) describes a case with short lugs and rounded corners, resembling the legs of a turtle protruding from the shell. As this term defines a case detail, rather than a case shape, it is normally used in conjunction of the case shape, one can have tonneau tortue, like the present watch, or also carre tortue, cushion tortue, etc.
