6105G – fascinating technical concept, disappointed it's styled as an AP sports watch 5322G – nice (but everything is blue and green dials now) 5840P – very nice if you appreciate Cubitus (I do, didn't at first) 5249R – beautiful…at a very high price 7047

5396 as well !💪 Love the apertures which make the dial quite clean.

it isn't the only model which was never made in platinum (for example ref. 5396 or 5950). As for the reason why a platinum variant wasn't produced, I really don't know. I would imagine that if major collectors had requested one, it would have been done. B

I’ve been able to try on the currently available variants of the 5396: the rose gold and the white gold with baguette indexes (5396R-011 & 5396G-017). Even if I really like the case profile, I’ve had mixed feelings. The rose gold case appealed to me t

of Patek’s first AC the 5035 I have continuously felt that the best watch made by Patek for the money is the AC. Of all the AC iterations for me the most appealing is the 5396. If I did not own a Patek but aspired to own a brand new one without breaking t

Seeing both the RG 2499 pulsations dial and the platinum Breguet 2497 in real life must have been a wonderful experience: lucky you! I completely agree with you concerning the link between the 2497 and the 5396. Hopefully, I'll be able to try on a 5396 ne
