Annual Calendar 5035P - Platinum - Black Dial - Box & Extract - 2001

Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5035P - Platinum - Black Semi-Glossy Dial - Box & Extract (2001)

The 5035 was the very first Annual Calendar wristwatch when Patek Philippe introduced the complication in 1996, and the platinum 5035P is the most understated expression of that landmark reference. This 2001 example pairs the 37mm platinum case with a black semi-glossy dial and Roman numeral chapter ring, giving one of Patek's most horologically significant complications a discreet, everyday-elegant presence.
