Patek Philippe's famous Annual Calendar appears in a new, non-gemset rose gold model with a 38 mm diameter suited to all wrists.

The warm glow of rose gold is elegantly combined with a brown dial enhanced by a double vertically and horizontally satin-brushed finish reminiscent of shantung silk fabrics. The brown calfskin strap with denim pattern and contrasting cream stitching is fitted with a rose gold prong buckle.

Invented and patented by Patek Philippe in 1996, the ingenious Annual Calendar mechanism displays the day, date and month, requiring only one manual correction per year, at the end of February.

A disc, decorated with golden stars and two golden moons against a blue or white background representing the sky, rotates within an aperture. The disc is cut from a wafer of corundum crystal (sapphire).

Gold was condensed onto the disc by means of a vacuum process through a photographic mask to create the shape of the moons and stars.  The aperture is cut at its upper edge in order to represent the lunar cycle.

During the first days of each lunation, the leading edge of a golden moon becomes visible as a crescent on the left of the aperture and appears to wax as it emerges beyond the curved edge of the aperture representing the lunar terminator.

Half way through the lunation, the moon appears full. It then wanes as it disappears behind the terminator on the right of the aperture.

As the moon vanishes, the second moon on the disc is ready to appear on the left.
