Dje officially confirms the release of a new dial for the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar reference 5396, generating significant anticipation among collectors. This announcement, made ahead of Baselworld, highlights Patek Philippe's evolving strategy for new product introductions and offers a fresh take on a beloved annual calendar model.
Patek Philippe Reference 5396
The Reference 5396 represents Patek Philippe's annual calendar offering within the Annual Calendar with Moon Phase series. This 38.5mm reference provides the annual calendar complication combined with moon phase indication, positioning it as a complex calendar watch that requires manual correction only once per year in February.
The watch features an 18k white gold case measuring 38.5mm in diameter with a smooth bezel and sapphire crystal. The automatic Caliber 324 S IRM QA LU provides 45 hours of power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, and the watch is fitted with a leather strap.
In production since 2006, the Reference 5396 appeals to collectors seeking Patek Philippe's annual calendar complication in white gold. The 38.5mm case size offers contemporary wearability while the moon phase adds visual interest to the calendar display. This reference serves collectors prioritizing complicated timepieces with practical daily calendar functions.
Very, very beautiful watch and a very typical PP design inspired by those glorious perpetual calenders first launched in the 40s. Combined with the dauphine hands...drop dead gorgeous!!! It will be on my wrist as soon as possible, that's for sure. Only question is WG or RG? Dje, will it be available in different colours?
Hi, Maybe Fabio who posted it knows more? Cheers Dje
Would be interested to find out if they will be producing it in W/G.
Just when Patek disappoints me with watches like the new ladies chronograph and the awful officer caseback Calatrava launched this year, it redeems itself with a watch like the new 5396. Bravo. - SJX
5396 new dial will be available both in rose and in white gold. Fabio
I have one question for you Jerome : do you know if it is possible to order Patek watch with special dials ? In the past I saw 2499 , 3970 with special dials order for only one customer (unique pcs. or just few realized) Does Patek still offer this service for the running production ? Thanks in advance for your answer . Walter
