Object description

Case and Dial Design

The Patek Philippe Reference 5146G-001 is constructed with a 39mm case manufactured from 18k white gold. It features a smooth, polished bezel and is topped by a sapphire crystal. The winding crown on the side of the case bears a signature.

The dial is finished in an ivory white color. It incorporates applied indices to mark the hours and features a set of luminous 'feuille' style hands. The layout includes two recessed subsidiary registers that track the day and month, a moonphase aperture, and a date display window situated at the 6 o'clock position.

Evidence for this section
  • “housed in a beautifully proportioned 39mm 18k white gold case with a sapphire crystal, signed crown, and a smooth polished bezel”
  • “features a charming ivory white dial with applied indices, recessed subsidiary registers indicating day and month, a moonphase aperture and date window at 6 o'clock, and a matching luminous 'feuille' handset”

Movement and Functionality

The watch functions as an annual calendar, a complication that tracks the date and month while requiring manual adjustment only once per year. This system was originally developed through a collaboration with the Geneva School of Engineering and subsequently patented by the brand.

The timekeeping and calendar functions are driven by the Patek Philippe Calibre 324 S IRM QA LU self-winding movement. This automatic mechanism manages the various displays, including the lunar phase and the calendar registers.

  • “annual calendar complication, patented by Patek Philippe in collaboration with the bright engineering minds at the GSE”
  • “Powered by Patek Philippe's Calibre 324 S IRM QA LU self-winding movement”

Strap and Hardware

The watch is presented on a strap crafted from black alligator leather. The strap is marked with the brand's signature.

Securing the watch to the wrist is an 18k white gold deployant buckle. Like the crown, this component is signed by the manufacturer.

  • “comes fitted to its signed black alligator leather strap with a signed 18k white gold deployant buckle”

Open research questions

  • What is the specific production year for this serial number range?
