Patek Philippe

Hi, I'm officialy allowed to confirm that a new dial will be offered on the annual calendar reference 5396. We've discussed that watch recently: patek.watchprosite.com / The new version should be out in the stores in January. There will be no more informa...  

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 qu... 

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.

It's all straight up the middle, sides are empty. That's not IMHO it's a fact. D in W

5396 new dial will be available both in rose and in white gold. Fabio

that both versions will be offered...wg &rg.... I was even shown the relative fax... Cheers This message has been edited by PinkPanther on 2009-12-20 14:10:41

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

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 servic... 

Hi, I don't think you can order special dials, but I think a few watches had dial variations (like black or white on the 3970). If you think about getting a 5004 dial on a 3970 I think it was another time. I guess there's too much speculation now to allow... 

No, they don´t - AFAIK - as I tried it in Germany to order a swap dial but they strictly said "NO" But maybe you are more successful in other markets and with good connections... As you know Germans are very strict in everything they do  best  Erich

but the head of PP Germany is a Frenchman Oliver

I was in Geneva in November to pick up a watch and I asked the question about dial changes and was told that PP no longer did that as there was such an after market for dials and not all of them were from Patek Philippe

Of course it never hurts to ask.

did they change the dial? Cheers

Hi, I have no idea why, and no more if the new dial replaces the old one or if it is available on top of it. Cheers Dje

by an AD, the old one will no longer be available (with the exception the ones already produced and not yet sol)... the new face is an evolution.... Although it looks nice.....I also like the outgoing model... Cheers

While this is nice, it seems vanillia Calatrava compared to the beautiful sector dial. Cheers, -- Richard.

Thanks Jerome

Love the new dial, looks great!

It looks very classic! Mimic a 3448. Just wonder if the price of Wempe 5125 may drop after the the release of new 5396. BTW, would you guess whether there will be a PT version with black dial later? If so, would be a killer! Cheers,

it's a limited edition, with special engraving, and for those with German days/months... it'll always be something special, with its own reference number. Which reminds me... why did PP decide to call this 5396 instead of a new reference???? Dje... care t... 

Well, Like for the 5296, it is the same reference but certainly with some figures after 5396! Not really a new watch. Dje

will be more desirable in future - when people "re-discover" its beauty and uniqueness
