The Patek Philippe annual calendar complication was first introduced in 1996. Breaking boundaries, this complication was not only more practical than the standard triple calendars at the time, but was also more accessible and inexpensive in comparison to the perpetual calendars. If the watch is kept running, the annual calendar only needs to be adjusted once per year in February, when the date is to be manually advanced past the 28th or 29th to the first of March.
Patek Philippe released the ref. 5205 annual calendar wristwatch in 2010, first offered in white gold, then later in pink gold, paired with silver or black dials. However, the present timepiece bears a gradient blue dial (013) which was released in 2018, granting its irresistible, contemporary appeal. This annual calendar includes the patented instantaneous digital display on the brand’s important ref. 5207, Patek Philippe’s exclusive minute repeating perpetual calendar tourbillon wristwatch.
Well-preserved in excellent overall condition, the present ref. 5205G is further accompanied by its original certificate and presentation box. The present lot is the 4th example of the reference with a -013 dial to appear at auction and is further fresh-to-the-market.
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.
Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
