chris7509 introduces his new Patek Philippe Ref. 5320G, sharing initial impressions and comparison photos with his Patek Philippe Nautilus. His post offers a collector's firsthand account of acquiring and wearing this perpetual calendar, highlighting its comfort and unique aesthetic. This article provides valuable insights into the Ref. 5320G from an owner's perspective.
The Patek Philippe Reference 5320G is a perpetual calendar wristwatch distinguished by its vintage-inspired design elements, particularly the stepped lugs and the syringe-style hands. It represents a contemporary interpretation of classic Patek Philippe perpetual calendars, integrating historical aesthetic cues with modern watchmaking standards. This reference is notable for its clean dial layout and the harmonious integration of its various indications, appealing to collectors who appreciate traditional complications presented with a refined, understated elegance.
The watch features a white gold case, measuring 40mm in diameter and 11.13mm in thickness. It houses the self-winding caliber 324 S Q, visible through a sapphire crystal case back. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 35-45 hours. The front crystal is made of sapphire, ensuring durability and clarity for the dial, which displays the perpetual calendar functions with precision and legibility.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a sophisticated perpetual calendar with a distinct vintage character, yet executed with modern reliability. Its white gold construction offers a subtle alternative to more common yellow or rose gold perpetual calendars. The 5320G fits within Patek Philippe's grand complications lineup, offering a blend of technical mastery and design heritage that resonates with enthusiasts of classic horology.
Something that really grew on me. Different, yes, and all in a good way. Congratulations for obtaining one I think will be more and more loved as time goes on. And welcome aboard. Enjoy your time on the Forum.
Welcome here. This is one of my favorite references currently i the catalogue. A different and beautiful watch.
I know its 40mm but a lot of people said it wears smaller. What is your opinion as a new owner?
You do not really see the 40 mm. Overall the watch is very comfortable. After 2 minutes on the wrist, i had forgotten i had it (i m used to wear a nautilus with the very comfortable steel bracelet...). It is not thick, though a bit thicker than the nautilus. Weight is OK, nothing specific to mention about it. Sorry for the horrible picture, not a lot of light now ... and i had to take the picture myself with the phone so the nautilus might look a bit smaller ... 5320 - 5712
And really complements the Nautilus
The design is very clean, especially with the apertures, and elegant, Enjoy it often! Cheers, Gordon
