Personally I would have liked

less salmon dial again as too many being produced. I thought both the 5227 and 5396 are due a new movement with longer power reserve and more interesting dials. I’m not a fan of these hands like the 6119 either. What would have impressed me would have bee

For me the Patek ACs going back to the original 5035 introduced in the mid 1990s represent the best of Patek - quite complicated, very practical, relatively reasonable in price

(or at least they used to be😊) and very attractive and comfortable to wear. The 5396 whose historical antecedent is the the legendary 2497 is to me at the very top in the AC lineage. Having tried on the sunburst sand beige dial, I can only say if one is l

I completely understand how you feel about the 5396,

even if I feel a little differently. I wanted to love the 6196, but it didn't speak to me when I tried it on... Again, just a personal feeling.

I completely agree with you, dear Abel, 5396 changes completely

with certain dials, indexes and metals. Your white gold variant with opaline dial is definitely one of the most appealing for me. This reference is all about simplicity and this metal and dial are completely in tune with this identity. The gorgeous Dauphi

Hello dear Emmanuel: Ref 5396 is a watch I love so much. A classic with a lot of charm which reminds me of some classic Pateks of the past. This new dial version you share today...

... looks sublime: a soft warm color which gives this watch a different character. A very charming character. You made a very thorough post past year showing all the different version of this reference. A huge reference work you did! It clearly shows that

Nothing fancy from W&W, but a proper annual calendar

I have been vacillating about this piece for months. Almost did a three months ago then changed my mind. I always tell myself this is the last one, but everybody knows how that goes. Thanks for looking at my friends all the best, Tony.

Unmistakable Trend

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

Thanks Emmanuel for the post with such intersesting history ! Sector dial is an interesting design !

Many years ago when I saw reviewing Calatrava AR models, the 5396 sector dial drew my attention. I liked the overall design but at the end felt that with an AR function, the dial was too busy for my taste. 5296 on the other hand strikes a very good balanc
