As a family-owned company, our strong sense of the past encourages us to remain innovative. The new Perpetual Calendar demonstrates that at Patek Philippe, the boundaries of horology are not a restraining influence.

To assure the largest possible calendar display on a single line with optimized legibility, minimal energy consumption and superb reliability, Patek Philippe engineers developed a calendar display consisting of four rotating disks – one for the day, two for the date and one for the month – all four perfectly embedded in the same plane. This patented mechanism alone required 118 additional parts in comparison with a conventional perpetual calendar display.

Perpetual calendars have always been prominently featured in Patek Philippe’s collections, offering a wide range of design elements with analog or aperture displays and dial configurations.
Presented in 1925, the first wristwatch with this highly elaborate complication (movement No 97’975) is on display at the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva (No. P-72). Also on display at the Patek Philippe Museum is a pocket watch from 1972 (No. P-1450) that features a panoramic aperture with a calendar system “à l’américaine” (month, date, day).
