A look at the new 5236P-011
The new Patek Philippe In-Line Perpetual Calendar ref. 5236P-011 features: a silvery dial with vertical satin - finish and black - gradient rim , charcoal gray white gold applied faceted baton-style hour markers , charcoal gray white gold faceted baton-st...
My feeling as well. The grey appeals to my taste quite well.
I'm typically not too interested in perpetual calendar watches but I like the in-line display on this model and definitely would own it if money was no object. The salmon dial is my next favorite of the three. M4
Like you, I like the in-line display.
And the Padellone case. But I really can’t tell which dial is my favorite. The only one I’ve seen in person is the blue. Best, Emmanuel
I guess grey is the winner here.
As far as I’m concerned I can’t decide which one I prefer. I would need to see them in person. Best, Emmanuel
Neither would I!
But I find it really hard to find out which one is my favorite based on photos only. The only one I’ve seen in person is the blue one. Best, Emmanuel
I like all of them Emmanuel, especially the
blue 👍 The new gray is also lovely 🥰 in the metal !💪
The blue is the only one I’ve seen in person
and it’s definitely very nice. Good to know about the grey! Best, Emmanuel
I really like the design of this defense.
And although I think it could be 1-2mm smaller, it fits my 16cm wrist very well. I’ve seen the navy and salmon in the flesh - both are gorgeous and it would be difficult to choose. The new gray dial is my favorite grand complication release by Patek this ...
I fully agree with you concerning the size
and the appeal of this reference. Just a little smaller would be great. Best, Emmanuel
I love the idea of this watch...
...and have worn the blue version for an extended period (while drinking beer) : ) It was a tad top-heavy on my 7.25" wrist. Perhaps a tad thinner or in white gold to mitigate the weight? But it's a very cool display...
Very cool indeed.
The blue is the only one I’ve tried on and I liked it. I personally prefer platinum for such a watch. Best, Emmanuel
Both references share the Padellone case, which is wonderful.
I would need to see the grey dial in person to be sure of how I feel about it. And the regulator is definitely a strong contender! Best, Emmanuel
I have no idea why I feel this way
But this reference looks very boring to me. Dial wise. I have a 3940, which I gifted to my partner. I tried to buy another PC from PP. Nothing excites me that much tbh. Just boring. Best Gatsby
I feel similarly. It’s nice enough…
but it’s not a step up from the previous navy blue version. It’s a solid offering, but not the best PC that comes to mind.
I can understand how you feel.
However, I think this in-line display is very nice and I love the Padellone case, even if I wish it were a little smaller. Best, Emmanuel
I don’t feel that way, but I can understand how you feel.
This display is definitely minimalist. But I like it and I love the Padellone case. Best, Emmanuel
Thanks for collating the pictures, Emmanuel.
The new grey dial looks very nice. Personally I prefer it when it looks more grey than sepia. All the best, Jon
My pleasure, Jon.
I think I feel just like you, but would need to see the watch in person to be sure. Best, Emmanuel
Have tried on each of the 3 more than once. I like the model a lot. A very special watch aesthetically and because of the complications.
The clear choice for me would be the salmon. Aside from not having a watch with a salmon dial and having watches with blue and gray/silver dials, I like the smooth surface dial with no striations. And the overall look appeals to me the most.
Thank you for your interesting feedback.
Having seen only the blue on in person, I find it hard to get a real sense of how the other two look in person. I think I could like the Salmon dial very much. Best, Emmanuel
Huge congratulations!
Please, share some photos with us (only if you want, of course)! Best, Emmanuel
Thank you for your feedback.
I also think that a smaller size would be great. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, it seems attractive, but I'd like to see it in person
to get a full sense of how it looks. Best, Emmanuel
The big centre window looks most natural on the grey dial
Blue close second for me. Lovely overall design and balance on all variations
This is a great reference indeed.
The case could be a tad smaller, though. Best, Emmanuel
A dial that asks for patience.
Many thanks for putting these images side by side. This is exactly the kind of comparison that helps the watch make sense. The new dial feels less immediate than some of the earlier 5236 versions, but the more I look at it, the more I understand the appea...
