The 4947 was Patek's first annual calendar drawn for women, launched in 2015 in 38mm alongside a smaller sibling. It uses the same calibre as the men's annual calendars rather than a scaled-down movement, and has since left the current collection.

This Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Moon Phases wears a 38mm 18k rose gold case with a silvered sunburst dial in applied Breguet numerals, under a diamond-set bezel. Calibre 324 S QA LU inside, on a violine alligator strap.

Fun fact: Patek patented the annual calendar in 1996 and shipped it first in the reference 5035. The mechanism needs one manual correction a year, at the end of February.

The collection

Annual Calendar

The calendar Patek patented in 1996, set once a year at the end of February

Patek Philippe patented the annual calendar in 1996 and introduced it in the reference 5035, a self-winding watch that reads the long and short months by itself and needs one correction a year, at the end of February. It sits between a simple date and a perpetual calendar, since it knows which months run to 30 and 31 days but not February. The tell is three apertures for day, date and month set along the arc of a circle below 12, with a moon phase and 24 hour indication at 6 on many references. Patek files the family under Complications, and it runs from plain round gold references through the regulator, travel time and flyback chronograph versions to diamond set ladies models.

Sizes in the family

38 to 42 mm on current references, earlier pieces smaller

Who it suits

For the buyer who wants a calendar on the dial but is content to set it once a year, at the end of February.
