Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5035G

Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5035R 18k RG

Famed for the wide range of innovations and complications that they have introduced to the watchmaking industry, Patek Philippe’s pedigree as perhaps the most highly esteemed watchmaker is of no doubt to anyone, particularly their devoted collectors. Amongst their long list of complications lies their patented annual calendar, a halfway house between the simpler complete calendar and the hyper-complicated perpetual calendar. First released in 1996 as the Annual Calendar ref. 5035, this complication was Patek’s acknowledgement that they needed to create an in-between the other two calendar types before one of their competitors produced one. Made of 18kt rose gold, this ref. 5035 features a silver dial alongside a stepped domed bezel that sits atop its 37mm case. An unrivalled piece of horological engineering at the time of its release, the ref. 5035’s legible dial displays the day, date, month and 24-hour display – a plethora of useful information that makes this timepiece a truly versatile timepiece that is equally functional as it is stunning. THE DIAL Boasting a silver dial to contrast its 18kt rose gold case, the ref. 5035's applied Roman numerals stand out proudly against their monochromatic backdrop and create a legible display that is a pleasure to look at and read. THE CONSTRUCTION Featuring a stepped domed bezel and a pleasant 37mm 18kt rose gold case this ref. 5035 is universally wearable and very easy to enjoy.
