Able to account for months of different lengths, it only requires manual adjustment once per year — at the end of February. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular piece is no ordinary annual calendar: A Reference \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e5905\/1A-001\u003c\/span\u003e from the 2020s, it also includes a flyback chronograph — one in which a single button press both stops and instantaneously restarts the chronograph.

It features a luminous striking green dial with applied indices, a white minute track with a radial subsidiary register, a matching luminous ‘obelisk’ handset, date, month, and day apertures, and a running seconds sub-register above 6 o’clock. To help accentuate the striking dial, this watch is paired with a full stainless steel bracelet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFlip the watch over, and one is greeted — via a sapphire exhibition caseback — with a view of the automatic Patek Philippe Calibre CH 28-520 QA 24H movement.
