PATEK PHILIPPE 5035G 18K WHITE ANNUAL CALENDAR AUTOMATIC BOX PAPERS

Patek Philippe invented the annual calendar complication. They introduced this ingenious innovation with this model 5035 in the 1990s (this is a 2003 late in the production watch). The 5035 reached out to a new and younger target audience when it debuted, supported by the "You Never Own a Patek Philippe Timepiece; You Merely Take Care of 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.

Dial is the rare and highly versatile silver color with applied 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 white gold case is 37mm diameter by 11mm thick, and features a smooth bezel, domed front sapphire crystal and sapphire display back crystal.

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

Strap is black Patek alligator with 18k white gold Patek tang buckle. This watch is like new with Patek box and papers.
