Replacing the ref. 5035, the first annual calendar reference introduced in 1996, the new model featured a rather similar aesthetic. Prior to the release of the annual calendar wristwatch, collectors had to choose either between the super complicated perpetual calendar wristwatch and the simple triple calendar, there was nothing available in between. The introduction of the annual calendar wristwatch certainly filled a spot in the industry where it was needed. Encased in an elegant 39mm diameter 18K white gold Calatrava style case, the ref. 5146 carries a rather traditional and timeless appeal. Fitted with an attractive ivory lacquered dial, the hue matches perfectly with the luminous hands and applied white gold indexes and numerals. With its dial layout symmetrical, the legibility is clear and practical. Extremely well-executed, the ref. 5146 is with no doubt a highly undervalued timepiece that is very practical and elegant at the same time. The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5146G-001 is a delightful example to witness as it is extremely well-preserved and offered in superb value complete with its full set of accessories.
