Housed in a round 37mm white gold case with a fixed bezel and pull/push crown, the 5035G-010 presents a black analog dial appointed with Roman numeral markers and luminescent hands. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the display, while the automatic movement drives a full suite of annual calendar functions — day, date, month, hour, minute, and second — all readable at a glance.
Reference 5035 holds a distinguished place in watchmaking history as the inaugural wristwatch to offer the annual calendar complication. It was produced alongside the reference 5036, which added a moonphase indicator. The deep black dial creates a bold contrast against the white gold case, lending the piece a refined yet dramatic character that has made it a perennial favorite among collectors.
This example, from 2005, is presented in pristine condition and comes complete with its original Patek Philippe box and original papers. It is worn on a strap with a tang clasp, lending a classic, dressy sensibility to a watch that already stands as one of the most significant complications in the modern Patek catalogue.
