Confirmation of the new dial on reference 5396!
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 information or picture or brochure available before Baselword!
Being a fan of the annual calendar, I can't wait to try it on.
Cheers

Must have!
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?
Now that I do like...................
Now that I don't like....
It's all straight up the middle, sides are empty.
That's not IMHO it's a fact.
D in W
I was told by an AD...
that both versions will be offered...wg &rg.... I was even shown the relative fax...

Thanks for the news Jerome
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.

thanks for the info J : wonderful evergreen watch with this dial
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
I don't think so
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 them to do that.
But you can always ask!
Cheers

No, they don´t ...
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

"As you know Germans are very strict in everything they do" - Well ...

dial changes
Special requests/order dials ceased as of Nov. 2003, in the US.
I have no idea
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
From what I was told....
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
Thanks Dje...Glad to have a sector dial before the change
While this is nice, it seems vanillia Calatrava compared to the beautiful sector dial.
Cheers,

Thanks, Jerome...
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,
5125
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 to comment? I'm sure everybody has the same question in mind... Is PP trying to set a new trend of releasing new watches outside of the Basel meetings? First the ladies chrono, now the new 5396...
Well
Like for the 5296, it is the same reference but certainly with some figures after 5396!
Not really a new watch.
