  • Catalogue Essay

    Unveiled in 2010 in white gold only, the refined Annual Calendar ref. 5205 embodied signature Patek Philippe proportions. Its patented instantaneous digital display of day, date and month evoked the supremely important ref. 5207 minute repeater perpetual calendar tourbillon. At each midnight, all indications immediately advance in unison - a dramatic change from predecessors where each slowly progressed over hours. Given immense popularity, pink gold variants with black or opaline dials followed in 2013.

    With its elegant 40mm case, concave bezel and distinguished hollowed lugs, the ref. 5205 pioneered annual calendar prestige. This particular white gold example exhibits a striking slate grey and black dial perfectly complementing the case metal. Offered in excellent condition, the watch also comes with its presentation box.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    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.
