A Patek Philippe Annual Calendar — introduced in 1996, when the Macarena was everywhere, 2Pac and Dr. Dre were giving us California Love, and Take That was still ruling the charts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, no, the Annual Calendar isn’t a 1960s invention. It actually arrived in the mid-90s, when the Nintendo 64 was under the Christmas tree and wearing a Patek Philippe with a calendar complication was a pretty serious flex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatek Philippe introduced the Annual Calendar to sit neatly between the simple Calatrava and the considerably more expensive perpetual calendar. The idea was simple: offer much of the convenience and sophistication of a perpetual calendar, without all the complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Annual Calendar automatically knows which months have 30 or 31 days, meaning it only needs a little help once a year, when February comes around. Make that one adjustment and you’re good for another twelve months. A clever complication, and one that makes a lot of sense for everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, this particular example is where things get even more interesting. Crafted in platinum, it has that unmistakable extra weight and feel that only platinum brings. Patek Philippe discreetly added a small diamond at 6 o’clock to distinguish the platinum version from its white-gold sibling — a tiny detail, but one we really like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re also big fans of the concave bezel, which gives the 37 mm case a particularly elegant profile. Turn it over and the display case back reveals the automatic Calibre 315 S QA, complete with its beautiful 22k yellow-gold rotor. Three correctors, neatly integrated into the case, allow the calendar to be adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is wonderfully balanced and easy to read, with applied Roman numerals filled with tritium lume, a train-track minute track, and crisp white printing in English. The date window sits discreetly at 6 o’clock, while the signature leaf hands, also filled with tritium, complete the look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch comes fitted with the pictured Bulang \u0026amp; Sons leather strap, together with the original Patek Philippe platinum pin buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd perhaps that’s what makes these early Annual Calendars so interesting today. They’re slowly but surely becoming neo-vintage classics. As the world’s first annual calendar wristwatch, this reference marks an important moment in Patek Philippe’s modern history — yet it still has that wonderfully understated 1990s character. We can easily see watches like this becoming future grails for a new generation of Patek collectors discovering the appeal of the brand’s neo-vintage era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very clever Patek, but above all, a very cool one. Platinum, Annual Calendar, tritium, and that gorgeous 315 S QA underneath — plenty for the collector to discover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA proper 90s Patek with plenty going on. One for the collector who likes their complications with a little personality!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ak-ul\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatek Philippe Reference 5035 P Anual Calendar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e37mm platinum case with display case back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase serial 415xxxx,Movement serial 313xxxx dating to 1997\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnnual calendar with 24-hour reading\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTritium luminous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCenter seconds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack dial with applied Roman numerals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutomatic movement, Cal. 315 QA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBulang and Sons leather strap with original Patek platinum buckle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully serviced by our watchmaker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne-year mechanical warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree worldwide FedEx Priority shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57317208523076,"sku":"W-3108","price":28500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/2546\/1430\/files\/W-3108PatekPhilippeAnnualCalendarinPlatinumRef.5035P_010_1x1_e5f4bb48-0cc9-49b9-ad7d-1dfaaa8bebf2.jpg?v=1790158718","url":"https:\/\/bulangandsons.fr\/en\/products\/patek-philippe-annual-calendar-5035p-in-platinum-black-dial-w3108","provider":"Bulang and Sons EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
