KEY FACTS

• The ref. 5235 is a truly unique offering within the Patek Philippe catalogue 
• ​Initially launched in 2012, it’s the first time the ‘Holy Trinity’ watchmaker has produced a regulator-style wristwatch, with the hours, minutes and seconds on separate registers 
• ​This rose gold variant, which debuted in 2019, measures 40.5mm in diameter, with handsome sharp lines inspired by the ref. 3448 Perpetual Calendar from the 60s, 70s and 80s
• ​The anthracite dial is nuanced with a vertical satin graining and contrasting sub-dials, apertures and minutes track
• ​The windows at 10, 2 and 6 o’clock display the annual calendar - a signature complication for Patek Philippe and a fitting addition to this unconventional reference

• ​It’s elaborately decorated and can be viewed through the sapphire case back
