Catalogue Essay
Reference 5135 was first released in 2004 and ceased production in 2010. The distinguished tonneau-shaped case was made in tribute to Patek Philippe’s watches from the Art Deco period. Reference 5135 was the first wristwatch that automatically advances the month, day and date and requires manual correction only once a year on the 1st of March. This classic model is powered by the in-house caliber 324 introduced in 1996, which features the patented annual calendar complication.
