Catalogue Essay

The reference 5035 marks a pivotal moment in Patek Philippe’s history as the very first watch to feature the Maison’s groundbreaking annual calendar complication. Introduced in 1996, this elegant Calatrava model quickly garnered attention and was awarded “Watch of the Year.” Powered by the calibre 315 S QA, the ref. 5035 requires adjustment only once a year, a testament to its innovative and practical design. It is no surprise that this intellectual creation became a cornerstone of Patek Philippe’s collection.

The present example is an exceptionally rare limited edition, numbered 71 of just 100 pieces to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of "A.C Milan" in 1999. Crafted in pink gold, this milestone timepiece is a celebration of both horological and sporting history. Preserved in excellent condition, it is accompanied by its original accessories, including a special edition fitted presentation box engraved "1899-1999". A true blend of elegance and innovation, this ref. 5035 is a remarkable opportunity for discerning collectors.

Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand.
