5396 comparison to 5125
Hi Fabio,
I attached a merged photo of both the 5125 and 5396. IMO, I think there is many differences beyond just the case. I think the 5125 has more softer fluid lines and the dial (around the sub-second) is much easier on the eyes.. I think the case designs are 2 different styles. The 5125 to me is more of the dress watch look while the 5396 seems more robust and sporty.

restyling for 5396?
I heard a new dial will be available for the reference 5396. Anyone can tell me something about? Fabio
I wish it be ref. 5125 Wempe style!!!
Taking into account that all dial indicators of 5396 are similar to 5125 ones, it is logical to implement classic "calatrava" style to mentioned model.
Patek 5125 Wempe vs Patek 5396
I thought that Patek would eventually come out with a watch like the 5125, but without the Wempe written on the moonphase indicator, and that was one reason why I sold the 5125 that I owned. I felt if Patek did offer an identical watch to the 5125, it wou...
yowsers...
if it was restyled as the 5125, then I agree I would be a buyer as well. It would be glorious.
24 hour indicator
What is the point of the 24 hour indicator outside of a two timezone watch?
Some thoughts ...
It's useful when the owner is adjusting the calendar using the pushers, as it indicates whether it is am or pm. Useful but not essential. Asthetically speaking, the watch would be a lot more attractive IMO if it doesn't have the 24-hour indicator. Mr Ster...
white gold too?
Nice... perhaps my first rose gold watch! But any knowledge of whether this dial will be available in white gold too?
Same formula, just different timing
When patek made model 5296, this scientific dial come out first, then re-introduced after with the current plain dial. Then came patek 5396 also with scientific dial, now comes plain dial ... someone else also did something quite similar, but in terms of ...
actually
i prefer the GP full calendar more but it's a pity it is without minute track which i don't like.

(patek) 5396 comparison to 5125
Hi John, thank you for your comparison. I think you are absolutely right: 5125 is much more elegant both in case and in dial and view them side by side what can I say is that 5125 is surely better and much more similar to 3448. On january the wrist test. ...
