KEY FACTS

• Originally launched in 2010, the ref. 5205 represents a more contemporary direction for Patek Philippe’s annual calendar watches
• The annual calendar has become a signature complication for the ‘Holy Trinity’ Swiss watchmaker and was invented - and then patented - by the brand in 1996
• This 2023 reference’s 40mm white gold case is finished with distinctive scalloped lugs, and its dark blue dial has an elegant, subtle sunray finish
• The day, date, and month apertures are located in an arc around the top, whilst the moonphase and 24-hour complications are combined into one sub-dial positioned at six o'clock
• Applied white gold baton hour markers and hands serve as reminders of Patek Philippe’s highly-regarded attention to detail and reputation for luxury
• Powered by the in-house calibre 324 S QA LU 24H, a self-winding movement with a power reserve of 45 hours
• The movement is elaborately hand-decorated and finished with a 21K yellow gold winding rotor stamped with the Patek Philippe Calatrava Cross
• The watch’s luxurious character is amplified by its exclusivity thanks to the long waiting list
• Offered by a UK-based private collector
• A one-owner example purchased new from a Patek Philippe authorised dealer
• Presented with its lacquered wood display box, protective sleeve, outer packaging, certificate of origin, booklets, swing tags, purchase receipt and date corrector tool 
• Graded ‘AA’ by the vendor who advises the watch is in unworn condition
