A Legacy of Annual Calendar Mastery

Patek Philippe’s Annual Calendar is one of the Maison’s signature achievements — a patented innovation first introduced in 1996 that transformed practical calendar complications for the wrist. The 5056P-001 is a refined embodiment of that legacy, delivering intelligent calendar function in a sovereignly understated platinum case.

The Hallmarks of a Patek Philippe Signature

• The Calibre’s Lineage: Automatic movement reflecting Patek Philippe’s long lineage of precise, self‑winding calibres designed for long‑term reliability and refinement.
• Case Material and Diameter: Platinum, 37 mm — the ultimate choice for restrained, tactile luxury.
• Dial Style: Black, elegant and timeless; a composition designed to elevate legibility and presence.
• The Patek Philippe Seal: The hallmark of manufacture excellence and finishing, the assurance of meticulous assembly and regulation.
