The annual calendar was designed by Patek PhilippeHigh Quality Replica as a simpler version of the perpetual calendar. Unlike the perpetual calendar, which automatically displays the correct time and date in perpetuity, an annual calendar requires a readjustment once a year to accommodate February’s peculiar length.
To help get you in the spirit, we’ll be comparing two Patek Philippe annual calendar watches: the reference 5035 and the reference 5146. Among Patek’s plethora of watch complications, the annual calendar is one of the brand’s most popular.
What Is An Annual Calendar?
Calendar 1:1 replica watch come in many forms. For example, there are simple date watches and slightly more complicated day and date watches. Then there are the complicated calendar watches that indicate the day, date, month and moon phase. Among them, there are perpetual calendar and annual calendar.
A perpetual calendar watch automatically adjusts to correctly indicate the date in perpetuity, as the complication also takes leap years into account. However, in 2100, the scheduled leap year is skipped, so even the perpetual calendar needs to be adjusted manually – but we won’t be alive then, so that’s not our concern!
Almanacs, on the other hand, require manual corrections once a year. The Luxury Patek Philippe Replica annual calendar can distinguish months with 30 and 31 days, but not February, which has 28 days (normal years) or 29 days (leap years). Therefore, from February to March each year, the wearer must manually adjust the calendar to continue on the correct route. An annual calendar is easier to set up than a perpetual calendar, which is difficult to readjust once it has been dormant for a period of time.
Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Ref. 5035
As mentioned, the first generation Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Ref.5035 Replica debuted in 1996. Available in yellow, rose, white and platinum, the Patek Philippe 5035 features a 37mm round case and smooth stepped bezel. As expected, these more sophisticated Patek Philippe watches come with elegant leather straps.
The dial of the Annual Calendar 5035 contains a lot of information. Central luminous leaf-shaped hands surround the dial and point to luminous Roman numerals. Then there are three sub-dials to indicate the month, 24-hour clock and date. Finally, there is a discreet date window at 6 o’clock.
As with most modern Patek Philippe watches, there is a sapphire crystal on the back, allowing a clear view of the movement inside. In this case, the engine is the automatic calibre 315/198, which provides the user with a power reserve of approximately 40 – 45 hours.
