So we just got in a couple of very unique Pateks that I don't think
any of you really understand what's going on here, much less,
anybody else at SwissWatchExpo. I do though. Stick around. I'm going to talk about it.
Hey guys. Welcome back to SwissWatchExpo. I'm Jonathan. And what I meant about my intro was that
we just got in a couple of Patek Philippe 5035s. Now, if you've been watching YouTube for
a little while, you understand my love-hate relationship with Patek. What I do love about
Patek is their higher complication, you know, dressier pieces. I'm not a real big fan of,
you know, the more sporty looks that they did come out with, you know, over the years
saying that we've got a couple of 5035s here, one in platinum, one in yellow, gold,
what are the 5035s? Well, they are annual calendars that essentially are part of the
higher complications catalog. What makes them special is that in 1996, Patek actually
first came out with their series for doing actual annual calendars,
which is huge because Pateks been around for 200+ years and they just came out with
a watch that they're, you know, going to produce on an annual basis with an annual calendar.
And it looks great. And it's a 37-millimeter case. That's just mind-blowing that, you know,
it took them roughly 150 years to do it. Saying that we have it now. We've got one from 2005, it's
the platinum case. I thought that this was, you know, whenever I first saw it, I thought it was
stainless steel. And I was like, I didn't think that they came out with this watch in stainless
steel. It's the next best thing it's in platinum. So it's hypoallergenic for those of you that
can't wear white gold and don't want to go with stainless steel. If you want to go with something
a lot more durable, you've got platinum, and then we've got this beautiful yellow gold version of
the 5035. You know, it's kind of the standard for Patek, especially whenever you think about Patek
as being, you know, yellow, gold. Both of them are in the standard 37-millimeter stepped case.
That's another design feature that they came out with exclusively
for this entire line. It's this unique step case. Now being an annual calendar, these are,
you know, higher complications. And what I mean by that is that they tell accurately the day date
and month all the way up to the leap year. Leap year is the only time as long as you keep these
wound. And you're actually paying attention to these watches that you're gonna have to adjust
them. And they're adjusted in technically four different ways. So you've got the standard crown,
and then you've got two hidden pushers on the crown side, along with essentially
a hidden pusher on the far side. What those do is they actually actuate all three of those
sub-dials that help you regulate as far as the day, date, and month. It's very, very easy to use.
We've got actual Patek-trained master watchmakers here that, you know, do you know,
reverberate to us on how to operate these watches. So we're not going to, you know,
give you the wrong information on how to like mess up your watch. At that, you know,
we just got both of these in, I believe both of these do have boxes and papers. They're
absolutely phenomenal and I'm even more shocked at the price that we've got both of these at.
So yeah, give me a call. I'd really, really love to be able to talk to you about both of them.
Other than that, like subscribe, do what you need to do to get either one of these on your wrist.
