Thanks for the report FX!
It is a pleasure to see these beautiful pictures of these watches. The 5205 is a true beauty, one of the most beautiful annual calender. It has this modern touch that the other don't have.
The blue dialed version of the 5960 seems to be very desirable. I like the gray version too, but the blue and red markings on the chrono subdial have always disturbed me. Why on earth did PP choose to use these colours on this dressy watch. With a dark gray or black marking, the watch would be perfect IMO. In the blue dialed version, this is no longer the case, even if the fill-in of the inner section of the chrono dial makes it more sporty.
But I fully agree with you, what a year for PP!
Cheers,
Sébastien

2010: the year of the Annual Calendar watches
Thanks to Patek Philippe France, I had the opportunity to see a large part of the 2010 novelties. I would like today to present you the pics I took of the Annual Calendars. I wished to start with these watches for three reasons: I consider the Annual Cale...
Many thanks for these anxiously expected pics!
Excellent pictures indeed of those beauties! Two observations/questions: Does the 5205 have a screw or snap back? It looks unlike any other Patek backs sofar. Any reason that the 5960 still comes with a Geneva seal whereas the 5205 already has the PP seal...
Wow, what great pics
thanks so much. The 5205 is really a new classic. The darker dial... whew! It's fun to like a new Patek! I'm still 'weirded out' by the layout of the day/date/month, especially the 'smashed' month font. but... clearly, this is a gorgeous, gorgeous watch.....
I must second the above comment.....................
What fantastic photos. And out of ALL the releases from this years Basel Fair, the 5205 is most definately my favourite. My wife and I (along with other invited guests) have been invited by my AD to an exclusive evening exhibition, which is being held by ...
Thanks for the great pictures and the information
5205 seems a must-buy this year. But which version would you guy choose? Also, I wonder how the RG version will look (next year?).
Year of the chronograph and annual calendars...
I thought Patek Philippe called their 2010 year, the year of the chronographs. However, I like that you've renamed it to the year of the annual calendars. Thank you for pointing this fact out. Depending how one constructs an annual calendar, it is complet...
HQ post.
Those new annual calendars from PP are stunning timepieces. The 5205 makes me dream of the untouchable 5207. I really like those windows to show te information. What to say about the Pt 5960? If you like blue dial watches, Patek has improved the unsurpass...
Thank you..
for a great presentation...... PP seems to have an annual calendar for every taste.... looking forward to seeing them in metal.... cheers
5396 looks modern yet..
claasic at the same time. my first love for PPs is the 5035 and the 5056 annual calenders
Patek Philippe 2010: Year of Chronographs AND Annual Calendars
FrX, Thanks. Patek Philippe made it a difficult choice in 2010 by introducing a large range of both chronographs (own movement) and annual calendars. Maybe we should choose the combination chronograph annual calendar as the best Patek Philippe novelty.......
wow!!
excellent post!! i agree that the 5726 is my favorite new release too. very interesting that with this watch, the 24-hour dial has ticker slashes to indicate the hours, especially where the date number indicator is located. i definitely need to try this w...
Pictures like those could instantly push me filling one/more empty holes
Thank you for your images and your great post. Usually I am not a big fan of annual calendar, but I must say that those pieces are splendid, specially this 5396 I enjoy so much the 5980/1, his shape, colors, functions and layouts do continuously put a hug...
One might surmise it to be the year of the 'aperture' annual calendar.
A fantastic report of, what seems to be a revolution within PP in terms of complication release. I have to admit that it took me some time to warm to the new AC designs, but yes, they are beautiful. As for the nautilus AC, it is taking me a little longer ...
5726
I was fortunate enough to see the display model in the London PP boutique yesterday. I too found the concept of a Nautilus AC somewhat strange, but when you see this model in the metal it is quite outstanding. The symmetry of the dial, the colour, the pro...

How does 5205 wear?
Thanks for the great post i have the new 5396 which sits perfectly on the wrist. How does the 5205 wear? i get the feeling it is a bit 'large' thanks
Perfect on my wrist !
A very comfortable watch thanks to the shape of the case and of the lugs. Fr.Xavier
Thanks for this great post.
The 5205G is a great looking piece, in any colour. It is more modern than any other Annual Calendar. Goh
Thank you for the outstanding post!
So many beautiful new releases from Patek this year. I'm looking forward to seeing them tomorrow in NYC.
Phantastic
Phatastic watches, Fr Xavier! The 5205 in light grey dial looks phantastic. And the 5960 with the blue dial is just amazing...it looks perfect on your wrist, i have to say. You should get one, IMO. With regard to the Nautilus: i like the idea of a annual ...
