Patek invented the annual calendar in 1996 with reference 5035, a complication that only needs correcting once a year, at the end of February. The 5396 dresses it in the house's most classical layout, with day and month windows under twelve.

This Annual Calendar wears a 38.5mm 18k rose gold case with a silvery opaline dial, moon phase and 24-hour indication at six. Calibre 26-330 S QA LU 24H inside, on a brown alligator strap.

Fun fact: the 1996 annual calendar won Patek a patent and became one of its best-selling complications, filling the gap between a simple date and a full perpetual.

The collection

Annual Calendar

The calendar Patek patented in 1996, set once a year at the end of February

Patek Philippe patented the annual calendar in 1996 and introduced it in the reference 5035, a self-winding watch that reads the long and short months by itself and needs one correction a year, at the end of February. It sits between a simple date and a perpetual calendar, since it knows which months run to 30 and 31 days but not February. The tell is three apertures for day, date and month set along the arc of a circle below 12, with a moon phase and 24 hour indication at 6 on many references. Patek files the family under Complications, and it runs from plain round gold references through the regulator, travel time and flyback chronograph versions to diamond set ladies models.

Sizes in the family

38 to 42 mm on current references, earlier pieces smaller

Who it suits

For the buyer who wants a calendar on the dial but is content to set it once a year, at the end of February.
