Description
Patek Philippe holds the original Swiss patent for an annual calendar caliber. The annual calendar complication is a very astute innovation. It provides 99% of the functionality of a perpetual calendar at roughly half the price. This Patek Philippe annual calendar keeps track of which months have 30 versus 31 says, so on "short" months the wearer does not need to advance the date. On February 28th the date's next stop is February 29th, requiring the only adjustment necessary for the entire year: forwarding the date to March 1st.

The 5146ā€™s solid 18k yellow gold case measures 39mm diameter by 11mm thick. Sapphire crystals front and back. Generously sized winding crown.

The white dial on this watch is great looking and versatile. Dial features applied gold arabic numerals and hour markers, along with gold hands inlaid with luminous. Legibility is improved over Patek's previous generation of annual calendars thanks to the larger case size which has permitted a larger dial to be used. The indicators are as follows: power reserve at 12 o'clock; month at 3 o'clock; moonphase above 6 o'clock with date below it; day at 9 o'clock.

Movement is automatic winding Patek Philippe Caliber 315/299 with 355 individual parts, 48 hour power reserve and 36 jewels. Rotor is 21k gold to help with winding efficiency. Stamped with the Geneva Seal.

The ā€˜/1Jā€™ in the model number denotes the original gold bracelet, with flip-lock safety clasp. Bracelet is full-length and will fit up to an 8 inch wrist.

Watch is 99% new. US Retail Price is $68,500.
