Patek Philippe first introduced the reference 5035 in 1996 and the model stayed in production until 2005. This reference became the world’s first annual calendar wristwatch.This particular caliber 315 S-QA uses 41 more parts than the Patek Philippe perpetual calendar calibers. The reference 5035 is today considered as the inspiration for later models such as 5036, 5350, 5146, to name but a few.

The present watch was manufactured in 2004 and has a most attractive combination of a white gold case and black dial.
