This is a great change for the 5396 collection. I like it very much and
I find the new dial with Breguet numbers on the clean dail very appealing and elegant.
I was thinking about a 5125 Wempe, but now I expect to see the next 5396P with possibly a black dial in the following years.
5396G-014 and 5396R-012 have a lot of charm.
I am confident you will appreciate your wrist tests, RussW. Let us know.
Cheers,
Patrickh

Live photos of 2016 Annual Calendars and Perpetual calendars
Dear Purists, I had the pleasure to see and to put on wrist some 2016 novelties. Many thanks for the warm welcome from the Patek Geneva Salon teams. Start with annual calendars Tribute to the 20th Anniversary of Patek Philippe's patented Annual calendar 5...
Thank you for the live pics!
I am very curious to see the new 5327. My expectations are that it will be considerably "more watch" on the wrist than the outgoing 5140. Best Moritz
Fou you Moritz,
Photo of 5140 with blue dial and 5327G I prefer the 5327G between these 2 versions. Breguet numbers are very nice, classic and perfectly integrated in the dial. Regarding the 2 sub-dials I would have prefered the design of those, as in the 5374P (unfortun...
Thanks for the great photos and thoughts
Personally I must say that the 5140P in blue is considerably more in my taste. Far more character and sharper look than the bigger successor I think. But each to his own and great that there now is something for every one to choose what appeals the most.
5140P-017 with anthracite dial is new in 2016 and still 5140P-013 with black dial and diamond indexes.
For the blue dial version: maybe still on the market for few pieces. Cheers, Patrickh
Thank you for the life pictures
I found 5496P so stunning that I have ordered it. However, no photograps can give an idea how good especially the retrograde date looks in real. Best Kari
another photo for you Kari
You are perfectly right: reality is much more elegant and refined than any photo. You will enjoy the day when you will get YOURS and will give it a long wrist time ;-)). Best, Patrickh ...
Yes, it's a nice combo
and at the same time a bit stupid to have two perpetuals with same style of dial. But I love both a lot. Best, Kari
They may seem similar in color and functionality but completely different in character so not really stupid
No message body Perhaps owning a 3712 and a 5712 could qualify...
Now you hit me badly!
I love my 3712 and 5712 is on order. But these two are very close and I happily admit that I'm nuts about Nautilus. And you are right: these two perpetuals are very different and the QP complication is implemented in two very different ways. Best, Kari
Definitely. Your pictures are great.
Its as if i was with you in the saloon or boutique. Warm regards. Best Geross.
Thank you for the report.
The 5396 was a model that never appealed to me before. But with the changes, if I was to buy an annual calendar, I think it would be the 5396g. Strange how a simple dial change can totally change my view of this watch.

Thanks, Patrick, for the live pics.
The 5396R is stunning as well a the 5327J and the 5496P. Would love to see all in the metal so I can drool, I mean, judge for myself. Aloha, Bob
Dear Bob, you will enjoy when you put them on your wrist.
An enjoyable pleasure for sure. Best, Patrickh
I am sure i will. :-)
I would enjoy it more if I could walk away with one, too. LOL Aloha, Bob
I understand...
you mean that in your age the watches are so heavy that you can't walk wearing the same? Best, Kari
Yes, that is an old, American slang...
given to 'youngsters' with a lot of energy. Perhaps, I made a mistake in thinking you fall into that category? Aloha, Bob
Very valuable feedback Patrick
and great pictures by the way. I think the 5327 will be a major reference in the Patek PC as the case is, IMHO, one of the nicest from the last decade. The dial is very well balanced and this model comes just behind the WTs seen this year for me. I'll be ...
Thank you Mark.
5327 case is really nice and in platinium version, it will be even more tempting. Wait to read your posts after you will discover the 2016 collection in real. Best, Patrickh
