A hugely popular reference which is only becoming increasingly in-demand as Nautilus and Aquanaut models are becoming unobtainable, this blue-variant of Patek’s infamous ref. 5205 is quite possibly the best of the bunch. Sporting a deep-blue dial which fades to black to its perimeter, the elegance of the 5205 is something which needs to be seen and worn to be truly appreciated. Instantly recognisable as a Patek Philippe Annual Calendar thanks to its three apertures along the top arc of the dial, the wearer can instantly view the day, date and month, alongside the time and a moon phase at 6 o’clock with a 24-hour wheel surrounding it. Albeit initially looking like a “classic” case design from above, when looking at the case construction in detail from the side you are able to see the slightly-convaceo bezel and pierced lugs, both of which are absolutely gorgeous and equally impressive in construction. Only requiring correction once a year thanks to the impressive self-winding calibre 324 S QA LU 24H/206 within (which can be viewed through its sapphire case back), this has to be one of best annual calendar dress wristwatches on the market.
