A very convincing 30ies design

In this version and in this metal.

The latest version is more timeless.

I would think that this model was not sold so well, hence the facelift in form of a Calatrava.

In WG I do not see that much beauty in it but in RG: it is credible 30ies.

My Patek 5396R with the sector dial. Elegant but interesting. I quite like the cleanest of the newer dial, but that wasn't an option when I purchased mine. Which version do you like?...

Fantastic!

I've got to say, I really really like this elegant, oddly sporting and fairly unique Patek. Great looking watch to my eyes. Congratulations. Lovely.

It breaks up the dial too much?

No, Tony, it is just because I don't like the complicaton.

But I would also prefer without date! And in this last case, vit is because it is for the reason you mentionned. ;) Best, Nicolas, a lot case.

The 5396R is a grail of mine.

I think you have a real classic. I have the same watch in white gold and purchased it last year after a promotion I was working toward for 7 years. I was looking everywhere for it as the newer version was most current in stock while the sector dial was no...

The sector dial

is unique and gives the watch character. The silvery opaline dials are nice, clean and crisp. The sunburst dials really catches the eye. To answer the question which version do you like... all are very nice. (lousy answer...LOL) sc
