“The olive green sunburst is new, but with rose gold and the perfect Annual Calendar dial layout, this watch feels as though it’s been cool forever.”

The epitome of elegance, Patek Philippe’s new 5205R is destined to be a classic,as well as being one of the best value complicated watches available today. The legendary brand launched the world’s very first annual calendar in 1996, followed most recently by this reference, with a larger 40mm case entirely forged from sumptuous 18k rose gold, creating the ideal modern proportions for a dress watch. The dial layout is a stylish, intuitive, easy-to-read design displaying the day, date and month in apertures along the arc of a circle, following the shape of the case. A single subdial combines a moonphase with a 24-hour indicator, for a beautifully balanced, chic watch face. The original, contemporary olive green dial tone is enriched with a sunburst display and a blackened gradient towards its edge. The fantastically decorative Cal.324 movement is visible beneath the sapphire crystal display back, showcasing Patek’s famous finishing and decoration work. Although a dress watch, as an annual calendar its purpose is daily wear, as it only requires an adjustment at the end of each February. Distinguished and sophisticated.
