Patek 5396R
My Patek 5396R with the sector dial. Elegant but interesting. I quite like the cleanest of the newer dial, but that wasn't an option when I purchased mine. Which version do you like?

Fantastic!
I've got to say, I really really like this elegant, oddly sporting and fairly unique Patek. Great looking watch to my eyes. Congratulations. Lovely.

The 5396R is a grail of mine.
I was looking for a 5296R but couldn't find one anywhere. I was about to give up the hunt and purchase another watch when I saw and tried on a 5396R at a local AD. I was immediately smitten with the overall design and concept and decided to maintain the s...

I think you have a real classic. I have the same watch in white gold and purchased it last year after a promotion I was working toward for 7 years. I was looking everywhere for it as the newer version was most current in stock while the sector dial was no...
The sector dial
is unique and gives the watch character. The silvery opaline dials are nice, clean and crisp. The sunburst dials really catches the eye. To answer the question which version do you like... all are very nice. (lousy answer...LOL) sc
