To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Patek Philippe's patented Annual Calendar, the Patek Philippe has launched a new model, subtly reworked and refined, that complements the 21 previous models that have been presented since 1996, not to mention the eclectic gold and platinum variations with different dial designs.
The Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5396 is available in 18K white gold with a dark gray sunburst dial and in 18K rose gold with a silvery white opaline dial.Both models of the Ref. 5396 look familiar yet at the same time appear to be totally new.More replica Patek Philippe Annual Calendar watches.
The first element is the shape of the case with its Calatrava personality. In the new model, the round of the case also merges with the strap lugs, and a smoothly polished bezel frames the dial. The sapphire-crystal glass is prominently cambered, endowing the watch with volume and a highly modern look.
The glass showcases a dial that features familiar elements that have been subtly refined and recombined. One of them is the in-line double aperture in the upper half of the dial that displays the day of the week on the left and the month on the right. The date display of the Ref. 5396 is positioned in a large aperture at 6 o'clock. Together with the double aperture, it frames the 24-hour subsidiary dial with the moon-phase display in the lower half of the dial to assure a visually balanced configuration. This layout is reminiscent of Patek Philippe perpetual calendars from the 1940s and 1950s, which regularly fetch top prices at auction.
The time is indicated in the crisply legible classic fashion: A peripheral circle of small gold minute markers frames the sculpted applied Breguet numerals in 18K gold. They harmonize gracefully with the Dauphine-style hour and minute hands as well as with the long, slender sweep seconds hand. Self-winding mechanical movement that correctly displays the calendar information for an entire year. The date and month indications only need to be manually corrected once a year at the transition from February to March.
