Notes

Ref. 5035 Production of this reference started in 1996. On March 1, 1996, Patek Philippe obtained Swiss Patent No. 685585 G for a completely new date mechanism: an annual calendar for a wristwatch with automatic winding. This ingenious mechanism is programmed to take account of the varying lengths of each month from 1st March to the end of February in the following year. This is the first automatic wristwatch in which the calendar needs to be adjusted only once a year.
