Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5035J (1996)
A landmark in modern horology, the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Ref. 5035J holds a special place in the Maison’s history as the world's first wristwatch to feature an Annual Calendar complication. Introduced in 1996, this pioneering model revolutionised calendar watches by requiring adjustment only once a year, at the end of February, and remains one of Patek Philippe’s most celebrated innovations.
Crafted in 18kt yellow gold, the elegant case is complemented by a refined white dial with gold Roman numerals, offering outstanding legibility while maintaining the timeless sophistication synonymous with the Calatrava-inspired design language. The harmonious dial layout beautifully showcases the annual calendar displays, balancing technical complexity with understated elegance.
Powered by a finely finished automatic movement, the Ref. 5035J exemplifies Patek Philippe’s exceptional craftsmanship and mechanical expertise. Paired with a black leather strap, it offers a classic and versatile aesthetic suited to both formal occasions and everyday wear.
Presented in very good condition, this example is accompanied by its original box and papers, making it an outstanding opportunity for collectors to acquire one of the most historically significant modern Patek Philippe references.

The actual jewellery piece is presented in a luxurious gift box with a protective outer packaging.
Quick Care Guide
Daily Dos & Don’ts
- Put jewellery on after perfume, lotion and hair products.
- Remove pieces before swimming, bathing, or going to the gym — chlorine, salt, and sweat accelerate tarnish.
- In hot weather, wipe skin and jewellery often; moisture speeds up dulling.
- Store items separately in soft pouches to avoid scratching.
At-Home Cleaning (once a month)
- Mix mild dish soap with lukewarm water.
- Soak pieces 5 min, brush gently with a soft toothbrush.
- Rinse in a plastic bowl of clean water; pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
- Finish with a silver/gold polishing cloth.
- Skip dips/chemicals on rhodium-plated, oxidised finishes, pearls or porous gems.
Gemstone & Diamond Tip
Warm running water is safest. Avoid hot/cold shocks and commercial cleaners that can pit stones or loosen settings.
Pro Service (yearly)
Bring items for a jeweller’s deep clean and inspection:
- Ultrasonic + steam for diamonds
- Hand/machine polish for metal renewal
- Claw and setting integrity check

Visited today after seeing a great selection of Cartier watches and had a great experience. I was quickly helped and able to try on several models and strap options as a first time buyer — the team were helpful and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend!

I took my broken Omega watch to Martin. He repaired it, and I've been using it without any issues for a while now. He is someone you can easily communicate with and trust when it comes to watches.

Lovely friendly team and fair price for my dream Cartier watch. They even gave my engagement ring a clean whilst I waited for the paperwork to be done. Would definitely come back!

Brought a Victorian locket from my mother's estate that needed careful restoration — soldering, hinge work, gentle clean. The result is faultless and the original character preserved entirely. A genuinely skilled team who understand heirloom work.

Brought in my grandfather's signet ring for re-engraving and a clean. The team treated it with the care it deserved — the original cut preserved, the new initials matched in style. Genuinely felt I had handed it to the right people.

Service work on a vintage Submariner I inherited. The watch came back better than I had ever seen it — case refinished to brand spec, water resistance recertified, dial untouched. Honest pricing and a turnaround that beat the quote by three days.

Booked in for a full Rolex case and bracelet refinish ahead of our wedding. Picked up looking like it had left the factory yesterday. The team explained every step and refused to touch the dial when I asked — exactly the right call.

An inherited Edwardian ring that needed resizing and a delicate clean. They preserved every bit of original detail — the milgrain, the patina inside the band, the small maker's mark. I had been turned away by two other workshops. Endlessly grateful.
