Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph

annual calendar


Annual calendar is the feature that refers to a mechanical watch. It automatically adjusts months with 30 or 31 days and needs to be manually corrected when February turns into March. Thus it needs to be corrected once a year, which is why the calendar is called annual.


A calendar mechanism that adjusts automatically for the different lengths of the months March through January. It need be reset just once a year, at the end of February, because it doesn’t “know” whether February has 28 or 29 days in a given year. (Compare with “perpetual calendar,” below.)


A watch showing the day, date month and 24 hours, adjusting automatically for short and long months. The calendar needs setting only once a year - at the end of February to the 1st of March.
