Calendar watches come in many forms. For instance, there are the simple date watches and the slightly more complex, day and date watches. Then there are complicated calendar watches that can indicate the day, date, month, and moon phase. And among those, there are perpetual calendar and annual calendar watches.
Whilst a perpetual calendar famously only needs the date correcting every hundred years (for three out of four centuries) the Annual Calendar mechanically tracks whether a month has 30 or 31 days and, with the exception of February, will correct the date accordingly, saving those frustrating four days a year where the user finally realises their watch is a day behind (normally far later in the day than is convenient). Somewhat ironically, on paper at least, the 315 S QA Annual calendar movement required even more components than the 240 Q that featured in the world-beating Perpetual calendarĀ ref.3940Ā but was achieved in such a way that the final retail product was a fraction of a price of the headline Perpetual.
Philippe Sternās mighty Patek Philippe, who often disguise their innovation with classic designs and traditional techniques. Reconciling the historic importance of one of horologyās most revered complications, with the (relatively) more affordable simple calendar they developed the automatic calibre 315S QA and simultaneously introduced an entirely new product tier.
