Unveiled in 2010 in white gold only, the refined Annual Calendar ref. 5205 embodied signature Patek Philippe proportions. Its patented instantaneous digital display of day, date and month evoked the supremely important ref. 5207 minute repeater perpetual calendar tourbillon. At each midnight, all indications immediately advance in unison - a dramatic change from predecessors where each slowly progressed over hours. Given immense popularity, pink gold variants with black or opaline dials followed in 2013.
With its elegant 40mm case, concave bezel and distinguished hollowed lugs, the ref. 5205 pioneered annual calendar prestige. This particular white gold example exhibits a striking slate grey and black dial perfectly complementing the case metal. Offered in excellent condition, the watch also comes with its presentation box.
