Patek PhilippeAnnual Calendar

This Patek Philippe Annual Calendar is offered for auction as a full set along with its booklets, certificate of origin, leather pouch, box and outer packaging. Purchased from an authorised Patek Philippe retailer in late 2021, this single-owner watch is presented in unworn condition bringing it within the seller’s ‘AA’ grading.

This handsomely design Patek features a white gold case, giving the watch the heft of a precious metal and the discreteness of steel. Keeping up with the times, this ref. 5205G is specced with a liquid-looking blue gradient dial. In terms of function, it features a moonphase and annual calendar complication, invented and patented by Patek back in 1996. More functional than a standard date complication and much more accessible than a perpetual calendar, the self-winding calibre 324 S QA LU 24H/206 is able to automatically account for the difference in the number of days in each month -except for February. As a result of this and its ~ 45-hour power reserve, the watch requires meddling with only once a year. As is the case with every Patek movement, the calibre 324 used here is beautiful and visible through the exhibition caseback.

The Annual Calendar offers itself as a ‘Holy Grail’ of the newer enthusiast generation as a watch that combines Patek's heritage with contemporary needs.

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.
