SUMMARY

The case of Patek Philippe’s second-generation Annual Calendar measures 39mm in diameter - increasing in size from the ref. 5035 which debuted in 1996. Constructed from 18K rose gold with a champagne dial and applied gold hour markers, the watch is both elegant and eye-catching. It is balanced in appearance 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 yellow gold winding rotor. The watch is paired with a factory alligator strap and hallmarked gold deployant clasp with a Calatrava Cross motif.
