Complications Annual Calendar Regulator

The Patek 5235 is somewhat of an odd bird - and perhaps that's why its a watch favored by die-hard collectors and aficionado's. Patek is known for many things, but stepping out of their comfort zone is generally not one of them - and likely their preference for tradition is one of their strong suits. With the 5235 however Patek seems to have walked a different path. It combines a rather unusual mix of technical features and complications - it is wound via a micro-rotor, displays time through a regulator display and has an annual calendar displaying through three departures on the top of the dial. And to top it all off, it is the first regular production Patek to feature the this includes the silicon Spiromax balance spring, silicon Pulsomax escapement and silicon Gyromax balance.

Patek Philippe is the last Family-Owned Independent Genevan Watch Manufacturer. Iconic models are the Nautilus, Aquanaut, Calatrava, Cubitus, Ellipse, Twenty~4 and grand complications.

Since 1839 without interruption, Patek Philippe has been perpetuating the tradition of Genevan watchmaking. As the last family-owned independent watch manufacturer in Geneva, it enjoys total creative freedom to entirely design, produce and assemble what experts agree to be the finest timepieces in the world – following the vision of its founders Antoine Norbert de Patek (1839) and Adrien Philippe (1845). The company name became Patek Philippe in 1851, and it is under this name that Patek Philippe created the first Swiss wristwatch ever made in 1868. Thanks to its exceptional know-how, Patek Philippe maintains a tradition of innovation hailed by an impressive repertoire of more than 80 patents.
