Patek Philippe Complications Annual Calendar, Moon Phases 40mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 40 mm case suggests

Patek Philippe Complications Annual Calendar, Moon Phases 40mm measures 49.6 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.24 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 81% of the 8,054 watches in this database and longer than 87% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 56 mm (2.20 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 67 mm (2.64 in) it starts to look compact. Below 49.6 mm (1.95 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
