Description
Patek Philippe holds the original Swiss patent for the annual calendar. The annual calendar complication is a very astute innovation. It provides 99% of the convenience of a perpetual calendar at roughly half the price. The annual calendar keeps track of which months have 30 days versus 31 days; on "short" months the wearer does not need to advance the date.
The case measures 39mm diameter by 11mm thick. Sapphire crystals front and back. Generously sized crown.
The dial is slate grey which looks much nicer than the white dial. 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 324 IRM QA LU with 355 individual parts, 45 hour power reserve and 36 jewels. Rotor is 21k gold to help with winding efficiency. Stamped with the new Patek Philippe Seal (which has higher and more stringent quality requirements than the Geneva Seal).
Strap is hand-sewn Patek crocodile with 18k white gold Patek deployment clasp.
Watch is in good condition with box and papers. US Retail for this watch is $41,400. It’s a great watch to own if you only wish to have one nice watch to wear every day.
