This Patek Philippe annual calendar, Ref. 5035G, in 18-carat white gold combines one of the Geneva-based manufacturer’s most elegant complications with a timelessly understated appearance. The 37 mm case shows well-maintained signs of wear across all surfaces – visible signs of a life spent on the wrist rather than in a display case. The cream-coloured dial, featuring Roman numerals, the day and month windows, and the small 24-hour display at 6 o’clock, is free from damage, as are the hands. The watch is powered by the in-house automatic calibre 315 S QA 24H, which operates the annual calendar autonomously and requires manual adjustment only when switching from February. The blue alligator leather strap is in good condition and was serviced by the manufacturer in October 2022, along with the movement. This reference is therefore not only a piece of Patek Philippe history, having been in the Stern family since 1932, but also a watch that is ready to be worn again straight away.
