Catalogue Essay
- When introduced in 1995, the ref. 5035 made history as the first self-winding annual calendar wristwatch ever produced. Inside the 37mm case ticks the robust cal. 315 with its revolutionary annual calendar function.

- The dial is balanced yet distinctive, with applied luminous Roman numerals lending a refined note. Its sibling, the present ref. 5036, arrived in 1998 on a bracelet with an additional 12 o'clock power reserve indicator, relocating the Patek Philippe signature to 6 o'clock.

- This fresh-to-the-market elegant white gold example with a cream dial is accompanied with its Certificate of Origin and accessories is a prime opportunity to acquire an important milestone from Patek Philippe. A pioneering watch that made calendar complexity accessible, the ref. 5036 annual calendar remains an icon revered by scholars today.
