W&W 2023: Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph ref. 5905R Blue Dial (Live Pics)

Released in 2015, the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph ref. 5905 quickly became one of the hottest watches and a grail watch for many. Available in different metals including platinum, rose gold, and stainless steel, now for Watches & Wonders 2023, the Patek Philippe ref. 5905 comes with a new variation in 18K rose gold with a sunburst blue dial. Featuring a solid rose gold case measuring 42 mm in diameter, the watch is not too big. As far as its complications, the Patek Philippe ref. 5905R is equipped with an annual calendar and a 60-minute chronograph.

Representing a combination of two popular Patek Philippe complications, this new rose gold version of the 5905 now with a sunburst blue dial is a modern and elegant color combination accentuating the timeless style of this flagship model. The rose gold case is distinguished by its sophisticated construction, with a concave bezel and hollowed flanks.

The sunburst blue dial of the Patek Philippe ref. 5905R features a convenient 60-minute chronograph at 6 o'clock —with day/night indicator— and annual calendar information displayed via three apertures between 10 and 2 o'clock. The blue dial is further accentuated by its white gold applied hour markers and white imprinted minute track and white fonts.

The beating heart inside the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph ref. 5905P is the automatic calibre CH 28-520 QA 24H. This exquisitely finished movement is fully visible via the display case back and is a real treat for the eyes. This exceptional movement is composed of 402 parts, 37 jewels, and a gold oscillating weight. When fully wound, the movement provides a power reserve of 55 hours.

On the wrist, the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph ref. 5905R wears almost true to its size and perhaps just about a millimeter smaller. The watch is delivered on a shiny dark blue alligator strap and it evokes all the Patek design cues that we admire as well as its unrivaled DNA. A chronograph with an annual calendar that sits at the pinnacle of watchmaking.
