Patek Philippe Ref. 5146 Annual Calendar


The Patek Philippe Annual Calendar was chosen "Watch of the Year" by the Swiss horological magazine Montres Passion.
Patented in 1996, The Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Ref. 5146J (pictured above) features date, day of the week and month; moon phases and power reserve indication. It knows which month has 30 and 31 days: it automatically displays the correct date, month and day of the week.

The Patek Philippe 5146 has a sapphire crystal back which displays the Caliber 315 S IRM QA LU self-winding movement. This fine movement is made up of 225 individual parts and is powered by a central 21Kt gold rotor which gives it an extremely high degree of efficiency.


The Patek Philippe 5146 comes on a alligator strap with fold-over clasp.
For those who would prefer the Annual Calendar on the "Wave bracelet" there is Ref. 5146/1 J. This watch is also available in 18Kt white gold.

Basel World 2009: Patek Philippe Ref. 5960R Chronograph with Annual Calendar


The Patek Philippe Ref. 5960 launched 2006, is the first self-winding chronograph movement to be entirely designed and manufactured by Patek Philippe. To compliment this exceptional movement, the Annual Calendar (patented by Patek Philippe in 1996) has also been added. Originally only available in platinum (Ref. 5960P), Patek Philippe has introduced it in 18Kt rose gold (Ref. 5960R pictured above) this past spring at the 2009 Basel Fair in Switzerland.

The new rose gold case combined with the silvery two-tone satin-finished dial give the watch a soft retro touch. The Patek Philippe Ref. 596R has a subtle design that combines modern classicism with sporting elegance.


The Patek Philippe Ref. 5960R features the caliber CH-28-520 IRM QA 24H complicated self-winding movement that controls the mono-counter chronograph function, a power reserve indicator, and the annual calendar. This timepiece automatically displays the month, day, and exact date for months with 30 and 31 days, and only needs to be adjusted once a year at the end of February. Another distinctive feature of the Patek Philippe Ref.5960R is it's innovative display mode: the hours and minute timers are grouped together in one large "mono-counter" for quick and easy reading of measured time.

The original Ref. 5960P (shown above) and the new Ref. 5960R utilize a sapphire crystal back to showcase this complicated watch movement. This timepiece is a true masterpiece.
