03 DATE-CENTRED DAZZLER
In 1996, Patek Philippe launched the world’s first wristwatch with an annual calendar, which requires an adjustment only once a year (at the end of February). Housed in a 40.5mm rose gold case and powered by an automatic movement that also features a chronograph, the Ref. 5691R annual calendar timepiece continues this grand tradition. Making things even grander is the profusion of bling: thirty-six baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel, 22 baguette diamonds on the folding clasp – and then eight more of those, set as hour markers on the black dial.
