 SUMMARY

Originally debuted in 2005, the reference 5146 represents the second generation of annual calendar watches for Patek Philippe. An important piece in the company’s catalogue, the patented movement was invented by Patek Philippe and only requires the wearer to adjust the date once a year in February. The case of this second-generation Annual Calendar measures 39mm in diameter - increasing in size from the original reference 5035 that debuted in 1996. Constructed from 18K rose gold with a crisp cream dial and applied gold hour markers, the watch is both elegant and eye-catching. From all angles, the watch is nicely balanced with the complications laid out symmetrically. An exhibition case back displays the expertly finished calibre 324 S IRM QA LU movement, which is elaborately decorated with Côtes de Genève across the bridges and 21K winding rotor. The watch is paired with a factory alligator strap and signed Patek rose gold deployant clasp.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.

Any watch not covered by a current sales or service warranty should be considered as potentially requiring a service, even if in full working order on the date of purchase.
