I disagree.
And what does an annual calendar get you more than a simple calatrava with date? A Calatrava you have to change at most once every two months. And it takes about as much effort as pushing a chronograph button - a bit of "interaction" with a watch that many seem to enjoy.
I would argue that with an annual calendar you are also buying "magic" rather than practicality, and, in that sense, it is only half the watch a perpetual is.
That said, I agree with the original poster, the 5056 is beautiful.

Favorite Annual Calendar.....
A recent addition.....the 5056P is iconic (to me). Now discontinued it is not commonly seen. The slate grey dial, the size, the milky white moon, the Roman numerals, the luminous hands/numerals--all combine to make a well-executed package. It also wears c...
Mine? Preferably the 5146 in platinum.
Love the overall look. Very classy and elegant. And the cream dial adds a subtle diversion. The rose gold is good too, but the rose color enhances the cream dial more than I would l want it to, making it appear a little more yellow. Like your 5056, it is ...
Im' not a big fan of the Annual Calendar
As I think that this is a complication which , well, how to say it in correct English, ...Stops half way in comparison of a perpetual calendar? BUT, if I had to grab one, I'd go on the 5960P... A stunning slate grey dial, much nicer in real than in pic, t...
I'm not a big fan - response back
Amanico I read what you say & I mainly agree. You mention that it is a complication that stops half way in comparison to a Perpetual Calendar, which is true. But then again a PC is also very nearly double the price!! I love my 5146J, though if I could of ...
You have a point, topcat
Half the way in terms of complications, Half the way in terms of price... Of course you're absolutely right. That's what disturbs me, as the price of an Annual Calendar,if more affordable than a PC, is still expensive. So that's the reason of my doubts, w...
Where I finally disagree with Nicolas
Hi Nicolas, I don't agree with you and here is why: What do you have to do with an annual calendar that you don't have to do with a perpetual calendar? Once a year (and no more) you have to set the date. Then the magic of a perpetual calendar is superior,...
Let's say that the magic of a more elaborated conception
Of the PC is more appealing than the conception of the AC.. If I follow you, even a simple Date is as useful as a PC or an AC...As it gives you the date, and as you have to wind and set the hour each time you want to wear a watch you didn't wear for a lon...
Boats & Woman
A complicated and sophisticated woman is something many men love very easily. And what makes you think a boat can't be complicated ? This message has been edited by Borgo on 2008-09-19 13:40:27...

5056P
I also think the 5056 is the best of the annuals. Love the roman numerals, sublime moon, and the power reserve is better than in the current lineup. But alas it seems a bit small for my wrist. Yours looks perfect however. Congrats, Nat
I don't think this is what you meant...
but it is my favorite annual of all time: It is a Annual with full equation of time and a very nice moonphase A...
Of course
It has the days of each month laid-out around the outer edge, so it compensates for 30 vs 31 day months. You just have to adjust it for february, which is how I understand an annual cal. A Zoom in on the rim might make it make more sense: You can see the ...
Love my 5056P too!
Definitly a FANTASTIC AC!! According to Christies, there were only about 300 5056P's ever made during the years of its production...cool!
A very nice annual...but you are right...
it is not what I meant for the post. You must be very pleased to own such a marvel! tempusfugit
If only!
I don't own it, I just got to take some pictures. It lives in the Breguet Museum in Paris A
Now if I had a Yacht.........................
If I had a Yacht like the one shown in the photo. I wouldn't have to worry about a Annual or Perpetual Calendar. Because I would go straight onto - hopefully the waiting list for a 5970G What a gorgeous andawesome looking Yacht, anymore photos?
If I had that boat!
Hi, If I had that boat, I would have bought back PP, or Richemont! Don't know yet! Cheers Dje
