About this watch

The reference 5035 is a pivotal piece in modern Patek Philippe history. Released in 1996, it was the world’s first wristwatch to feature the patented annual calendar complication—a movement that automatically accounts for 30- and 31-day months. Developed to fill the gap between Patek’s simpler models and its grand complications, the 5035 opened the brand up to a new generation of collectors. The Calibre 315 S QA inside is Geneva-sealed, displaying day, date, month, and a 24-hour subdial. This Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Ref. 5035R is presented in 18k rose gold with a 37mm case and a silvered or cream dial with applied Roman numerals. The automatic movement drives three subsidiary dials at 2, 6 and 10 o’clock for day, month and 24-hour indication. The watch is offered as watch only, with original 18ct patek buckle in excellent condition.
