Sold
The 18k white gold edition of the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar reference 5205 was first launched in 2010. The two-tone dial was originally available in two variants, in black/slate grey and rhodium/silver grey such as this piece. Both colour schemes were discontinued and replaced by a dial in blue gently shading to black. Reference 5205 is easily recognizable by its three apertures along an arc for displaying the day of the week, the date and the month instead of the more commonly used subsidiary dials for the annual calendar. The design of the dial is sportive and modern, not least because of the vibrant dauphine hands and the oversize white gold hours. This watch is rarely offered on the market and is furthermore hardly worn!
