PATEK PHILIPPE 5035R 18K ROSE GOLD AUTOMATIC ANNUAL CALENDAR

The Patek Philippe reference 5035 reached out to a new and younger target audience, when it debuted, supported by the "You never own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation" marketing campaign. For many people who thought that a date was as complicated as a watch got, the annual calendar model caught their attention. Patek chose wisely to market the reference 5035 with this campaign, as it is a watch that combines traditional design elements with a modern appearance and a genuinely useful complication.

An annual calendar complication offers 99% of the convenience and functionality of a perpetual calendar but at roughly half the price. Patek Philippe invented the annual calendar with the reference 5035, which makes it an important yet affordable watch.

Dial is white with applied luminous roman numerals and luminous hands. The subdials display day, month and 24 hour time. The date is in a window at 6 o'clock. Railroad style minutes chapter at the dial's periphery.

The 18k rose gold case is 37mm diameter by 11mm thick, and features a smooth bezel, domed front sapphire crystal and sapphire display back crystal. The watch buckle is also 18k rose gold.

Movement is the automatic winding Patek Philippe Caliber 315 with power reserve of 48 hours, 35 jewels with 316 individual parts. Rotor is cast from 21k gold for winding efficiency. Movement is stamped with the ultra-prestigious Geneva Seal.

This watch is like new and will be delivered with original Patek box and papers.
