Patek Philippe, Annual Calendar Travel Time, 2020's, 5326G, White Gold

A sophisticated fusion of technical ingenuity and timeless elegance, the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Travel Time stands among the most refined modern complicated watches of the manufacture. Introduced in 2022, this remarkable reference brings together multiple hallmark complications in a single harmonious design, showcasing Patek Philippe’s ongoing leadership in contemporary haute horlogerie.

At the heart of the watch beats the self-winding caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H, an advanced movement protected by eight patents. It seamlessly combines the practical Travel Time dual-time function with an annual calendar and moon phase display — a sophisticated evolution of the annual calendar concept first pioneered by Patek Philippe in the 1990s. A particularly innovative feature is the crown-operated setting system with three distinct positions, allowing intuitive adjustment of the various indications while preserving the purity of the case design.

The 41 mm white gold case is distinguished by a finely guilloché hobnail pattern encircling the caseband — a subtle yet luxurious decorative touch that lends depth and vintage character to the watch’s profile. This “Clous de Paris” motif, rarely seen in such a contemporary context, creates a tactile contrast against the polished surfaces and enhances the piece’s discreet presence on the wrist.

Its dark gray dial, finished with a delicate grained texture, further reinforces the dialogue between vintage inspiration and modern execution. The warm, slightly matte surface provides an elegant backdrop for the calendar apertures, dual time indications, and the poetic moon phase display at six o’clock. The overall composition is remarkably balanced, ensuring that despite the wealth of information, legibility and aesthetic harmony remain paramount.

Highly sought after by collectors of modern complications, this reference is admired not only for its technical depth but also for its distinctive personality — a watch that feels both contemporary and steeped in Patek Philippe’s long tradition of calendar and travel watches.

Preserved in essentially new condition and offered with its full set of accessories, the present example represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the manufacture’s most characterful recent complicated models.
