A well-balanced dial and unassuming look of this 2001 annual calendar give joy every time I put it on. Built on the original annual calendar ref. 5035, the 5036 added a power-reserve indicator at 12 o’clock and a moonphase above the date at six o’clock. It has a 36mm round case, Roman numeral indices, day of the week at 9/10 o’clock, and month at 2/3 o’clock. Case and bracelet are 18K white gold.

Introduced in 1999 and discontinued around 2006, the 5036 was the world’s first annual calendar wristwatch paired with a moonphase.

Post photographs of similar classics that fly under the radar compared to today’s hot shots.
