Photos and initial review of my 5236P
By: David_S : April 20th, 2021-13:50
Friends, as promised in a previous post, please find attached a short review and a few photos of my 5236P. Positives: I think that the 5236 is the perfect combination of understatement and complication. The dial, with the inline calendar, is very simple, ...
I'm liking this one more every time I see it again...

...I too am kind of bothered by the fact that Patek couldn't (wouldn't?) figure out instant indicator change. It looks from the photo that the date is the same color as the day and month...true? If so, it would have been nice to make the date a different ...
Be careful...

Once it’s on your wrist, it’s hard to take it off
Lovely lovely and lovely...

Nice reviews and it’s great you mentioned about not able to read the date at noon 👏🏻 That is the best part about owners’ review, bravo and congrats again!
Huge congrats on an amazing piece!👌🏻

And thanks a lot for the review, very interesting. I like the watch and would love to see it in the flesh soon. Enjoy it in the best health!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this beautiful piece.

I, too, agree with your conclusions of this piece. It’s an almost perfect watch. I wish it had instant change and hacking seconds. I don’t think the lack of these features would keep me from getting this watch if I had a chance though. It’s a beauty. Wear...
You’re right.

Instant change would have been awesome.
Love the clean dial of this perpetual

The complexity of the watch is known only to its owner and its watchmaker. And to us as well. May you enjoy it for many February 29s to come.
I just noticed something that could be better...

...the calendar window should have been above the logo as in the 5320G for example. The white space agains the dark dial dominates, and it looks lower on the face than it actually is. Even if it were half-way between the 12 markers and the center of the d...
Congratulations

A great write up on your new piece. Overall I love it too, the proportions, layout etc. For me there would be one small aspect I would change which would be to have the date in the same colour as the dial with white writing per the PP logo. The white ‘sta...
Great review on an extraordinary PC.
By: Grisar : April 21st, 2021-03:42
For me this is the most interesting and collectable PC from Patek in the past more than a decade. Very understated yet highly attractive watch. When we prefer a thin Patek movement to a bulky Lange movement, we have to be ready to accept that not all func...
Thanks, Grisar!
By: David_S : April 21st, 2021-04:02
I agree with the first part of your comments. But to be fair to Lange, their new QP is only 1mm thicker than the 5236, with a full size rotor, quite impressive as well. Also, the Lange mouvement is, i think, slightly less elegant but on par when it comes ...
Well, you made a very interesting point.
By: Grisar : April 21st, 2021-05:18
If we are comparing the size of two watches, Patek at 11.07mm and Lange 1 PC (2021 version) at 12.1mm. However, movement wise, Patek is only at 5.8mm, while Lange is at 8.8mm, so is Lange more than 50% thicker than Patek. Of course maybe its mostly due to...
Cheap?

Incomplete maybe?
By: David_S : April 23rd, 2021-15:26
My previous message was cut off: I meant given the research and development needed for the in line indication of the calendar.
THE PHOTOS ARE EXQUISITE

Owning the 5236P is the real treat. Enjoy the eye candy. Steve

By: watch-er : August 7th, 2023-12:48
have said they would have liked to see an instantaneous date change. From what I have read, this was not possible with the four date wheels so close together in terms of the required increase of the size of the movement and the additional power needed to ...
