Our Thoughts:
On of the first ever annual calendar watch that Patek Philippe made as they try to bridge the gap between their less complicated watches and their grand complications. More interestingly Patek’s decision to apply luminous hour markings and hands represented a new era of watchmaking for the brand.
We personally love all things 1990s-2000s, it shows how technology have transformed the world of watchmaking. Although this piece does not strike you as a classic Patek Philippe design at first, there are so many elements that makes this piece so collectible. The 37mm profile is slightly increased from the 36mm that were so popular in the 1980s to 1990s and from our point of view is still a fantastic size for a dress watch with an annual calendar function.
