Patek Philippe patented the annual calendar in 1996, and in doing so created a complication that had not previously existed. A perpetual calendar accounts for leap years through a mechanism of considerable complexity; a simple calendar needs correcting five times a year. The annual calendar sits between them, requiring a single adjustment each March, and it has become one of the few genuinely new complications of the modern era.
The 5905/1A-001 pairs that calendar with a flyback chronograph in a 42mm steel case, and the /1A in the reference denotes the integrated steel bracelet. The green sunburst dial is free of applied numerals, with day, date and month shown through three apertures beneath twelve and a single subdial at six o'clock. Patek introduced this green execution in 2021.
Inside is Calibre CH 28-520 QA 24H, a self-winding column-wheel chronograph with vertical clutch, carrying the annual calendar module and a fifty-five hour power reserve. Water resistance is 3 ATM, appropriate to a watch of this complication rather than a tool piece.
The integrated bracelet was designed for this case and cannot be substituted, which places the 5905/1A in a small group of Patek references offered on steel rather than leather.
