Reference 5960P of 2006 introduced Patek's first self-winding chronograph movement developed entirely in-house, calibre CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H, and paired it with the annual calendar the house patented in 1996. Platinum was the reference's launch metal.

This Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph wears a 40.5mm platinum case with a grey dial. Calibre CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H inside, on a leather strap.

Fun fact: the chronograph's minutes and hours are read on a single subdial at six o'clock with concentric hands, which leaves the top of the dial clear for the calendar windows.

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.
