Patek's self-winding perpetual calendar has run through only three references since the mid-1980s: the 3940 of 1985, the 5140 that took over in 2006 with a thinner case, and the 5327 that replaced it in turn at Baselworld 2016, adding the rounded, scallop-lugged case and applied Breguet numerals seen here. Despite the Calatrava-style case, the reference sits in Patek's Grand Complications family. Calatrava is the separate, simpler time-only line.

This Patek Philippe Grand Complications Perpetual Calendar wears a 39mm rose gold case with a lacquered ivory dial and applied rose gold Breguet numerals. Calibre 240 Q inside, on a dark brown alligator leather strap with a rose gold fold-over clasp.

Fun fact: the 5327 replaced the 5140's baton hour markers with the applied Breguet numerals seen on this dial: the clearest way to tell the two references apart at a glance, since the case dimensions and movement carried over largely unchanged.

The collection

Perpetual Calendar

The calendar that needs no correction until 2100, in series production since 1941

Patek Philippe built the first perpetual calendar wristwatch in 1925, on a movement made in 1898 for a pendant watch, and brought the complication into series production in 1941 with the reference 1518 perpetual calendar chronograph. The mechanism carries the long and short months and the leap year cycle, and Patek states that it needs no correction until 2100. One layout recurs across the family, with day and month in apertures below 12 and the date read by a hand around a moon phase at 6, while other references set the calendar out in subdials read by hands, run it in a single line across the dial, or sweep the date on a retrograde hand. They sit under Grand Complications in the catalogue, in round gold and platinum cases.

Sizes in the family

39 to 41.3 mm on current references, earlier pieces smaller

Who it suits

For the buyer who wants the calendar to look after itself, and will keep the watch running so it never needs resetting.
