Patek Philippe Annual Calendar

The Annual Calendar is a complication invented by Patek Philippe.

While it plays second fiddle to the perpetual calendar in the minds of most collectors, the reality is that the construction of the annual calendar mechanism is equally challenging, and in some cases, requires even more components. The Reference 5035 was Patek's first Annual Calendar model launched in 1996, and set the bar for all that followed — including those from competitors.

The particular annual calendar we have here, a Reference 5146G, is housed in a beautifully proportioned 39mm white gold case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a polished bezel. It features a luminous sunburst grey dial with applied indices, recessed subsidiary registers, a moonphase aperture, day and month indicators, a date window at 6 o'clock, and a matching luminous 'feuille' handset.

Powered by Patek Philippe's Calibre 324 S IRM QA LU automatic-winding movement, it comes fitted to a signed black alligator strap with a signed, white gold deployant clasp. It also comes with its factory goodies dating to 2015. 

This piece packs pedigree, refinement, function and outstanding craftsmanship that can only be expected on Patek Philippe.

Any old wristwatch can tell the time. Few truly define it.

Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe is one of the oldest watch manufacturers in the world with an uninterrupted watchmaking history. Few luxury brands in the world carry the gravitas of their name, and for good reason. The firm's commitment to excellence in horological manufacture is unflinching, and their track record of innovation in design without peer.  They continue to lead the industry, and even their fiercest competitors have nothing but the utmost respect for the company.

Owning a Patek Philippe is for many the ultimate goal of timepiece collecting, and for a certain type, the only timepieces they collect. Whichever way you look at it, there is no questioning the elegance of design, superlative manufacture of their cases and movements, or the sheer elegance and emotion that comes from owning one.

Of course for a brand that is steeped in heritage, we are told ‘You never actually own a Patek Philippe…”

Well, you know the rest.
