Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar 36mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 36 mm case size

Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar 36mm measures 42.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 36 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.18 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 85% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 78% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 48 mm (1.89 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 57 mm (2.24 in) it starts to look compact. Below 42.5 mm (1.67 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
