The Patek Philippe 5146 is a modern icon among luxury watch buyers and watch collectors. Born of the first line of annual calendars -- Patek invented this system in 1996 -- the Patek 5146 is a graceful white gold complicated watch that offers a triple calendar with moon phase and power reserve indicator.
The anthracite sunburst dial incorporates several premium refinements. First, the dial base is richly grained and galvanized to an intense silver grey metallic. Second, white gold indices and tri-Arabic numeral guarantee daytime legibility. Finally, super luminova glows brightly to ensure easy viewing of the time after dark.
This Patek Philippe 5146 is the 5146/1G variant with a full white gold bracelet and deploying clasp. The full bracelet grants this ordinarily reserved luxury timepiece an extra measure of wrist presence and expressive force. Patek poetically describes this five-link bracelet "drop style" due to the resemblance of the links to drops of rain.
Inside the case, Patek Philippe's automatic caliber 324 S C QA LU IRM movement provides reliability and precision. A Gyromax free-sprung balance operates in tandem with a balance wheel beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The power reserve of 35-45 hours can be read with ease on the dial side indicator, and the annual calendar mechanism requires adjustment only once per year.
Few watches offer the attention to detail, precision, and enduring value of a Patek Philippe; a Patek Philippe complication offers this and additional mechanical refinement. Choose the 5146/1G-010 and experience Patek Philippe ownership with a signature complication.
The Patek Philippe 5146/1G-010 Complications Annual Calendar Moon Phase features a 39mm 18k white gold case surrounding a grey dial on an 18k white gold bracelet with folding buckle. Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, day, date, month, annual calendar, moon phase and power reserve indicator. The watch also measures 11.6mm in thickness and 46.7mm from lug-to-lug.
