Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5146G-001

Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5146G-001 Creme Dial 18k WG

Released in 2005, the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar ref. 5146 is a modernised version of its predecessor, the ref. 5035, with an updated 39mm case design that is classical in its styling with a round shape, domed bezel, undulating lugs and polished surfaces. Standing at just 11.5mm thick with gently sloped lugs, the ref. 5146 wears comfortably as its profile hugs the wrist allowing its leather strap to comfortably drape over and close with its fold-over clasp. Perhaps the ref. 5146G’s most distinguishing feature, which is the reference we have here, is its beautiful and distinctive creme dial. Modernising the ref. 5035’s Roman numeral dial in lieu of a design that has remained in style today, this ref. 5146G features applied Arabic numerals at 3, 9 and 12 with stick indices elsewhere blending legibility with a clean aesthetic to match its otherwise clutter-free dial. Intelligently laid across its creme dial, the ref. 5146G houses two sunken subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock with the day and date displays and a subtle power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock with a moon phase display mirroring it at 6 o’clock rounding off an incredible symmetrical case design with an equally symmetrical dial layout. Powering by the automatic cal. 324 S IRM QA LU, which is proudly displayed behind its exhibition caseback, the ref. 5146G boasts Patek’s renowned finishing that tops off this wonderfully designed timepiece and serves as a reminder as to why Patek Philippe is so highly regarded as the world's premiere watchmaker. THE DIAL Featuring no wasted space, the ref. 5146G's creme off-white dial's intelligently laid-out complications make for easy reading with their generous spacing, clear inscriptions, and legible script. THE CONSTRUCTION Featuring a carefully crafted 39mm 18kt white gold case, the ref. 5146G's construction is made all the most distinctive through its stepped domed bezel and elegant brightly polished lugs.
