Ref. 5147 is fitted with Patek Philippe's patented annual calendar mechanism which automatically corrects the date for months with 30 and 31 days. It only requires correction once a year at the end of February. Interestingly, the relatively simpler function of Ref. 5147 is accomplished with a higher parts count than the brand's own perpetual calendar wristwatch Ref. 5140: 355 individuals parts compared to 275 for the perpetual.
