Patek Philippe 5146G Annual Calendar 18K White Gold Cream Ivory Dial

The Patek Philippe 5146G-001 Annual Calendar stands among modern classics, offering collectors a sophisticated complication within the maison's most wearable format. Released in the mid-2000s, this reference features an elegant 39mm 18K white gold case paired harmoniously with a creamy lacquered ivory dial—a finish revered for its warm, vintage-inspired tone. The annual calendar complication, powered by the automatic Caliber 324 S IRM QA LU, automatically accounts for months with 30 or 31 days, requiring adjustment only once per year in February. This model's refined layout includes day, date, and month indicators, a moonphase aperture, and a discrete power reserve indicator, all laid out for exceptional legibility and balance. Its compact 46mm lug-to-lug measurement and 11.2mm thickness ensure comfortable, everyday wear while maintaining an impressive wrist presence. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, underscoring the daily-use practicality of Patek's design ethos. As one of the first annual calendar watches that made this complication accessible beyond perpetuals, the 5146G holds significant historical and technical value for any serious collection. The brown alligator strap with white gold tang clasp completes an aesthetic that is both understated and quintessentially Patek Philippe. Like New with Patek Philippe box and papers dated 2021.
