Patek Philippe

Hello all, here is a quick pic of my 5056 near its birthplace, by Lake Geneva. I love the slate gray dial and the combination of annual calendar and power reserve. Cheers, Z....  

Is there luminescent in the Roman numerals? Looking good and thanks for sharing. BR, kolosstt

Yes, the numerals are indeed luminescent.

this is a fantastic watch and way of wearing it. Congratulations for this one and welcome on our Patek forum, we're looking forward to reading from you! Cheers, Mark

I really do enjoy the discretion and rarity of this ref.

Your first annual calendar watch from Patek displayed this matter on the dial: for a long jump from 30th to a 1rst of a month it needs the power of twelve hours, hence the red markings. That is 1/4th of the power when fully wound. Great piece. Best Moritz... 

any comparison if such value is out of the ordinary in any of both directions? BR, kolosstt

My question was more: Do you know if loosing 25% of power reserve is ordinary or extraordinary? What would be expectations for such a change of multiple indication on a PC? Hope I was better now. Cheers, Kolosstt

There is another Patek manual watch that needs colossal power reserve of two days (!) for date and day changes. To be fair, those changes are instant. And to be really, really fair it is only 20% of the overall power reserve. Nevertheless Patek's annual c... 

I had no idea about this.

I love the smaller size and the roman numerals. I briefly had a 5056 but then returned to a 5035G with black dial. The warmth of white gold, the black dial and the concave bezel did it for me! Enjoy your lovely Patek!

The dial is beautiful and very easy to read. Great contrast for sure. The moonphase is also strikingly wonderful, one of the best in the PP collection. Wear it in good health. Cheers. Jim

I wore this every day until I got a Langematik Perpetual. The slate dial and the white moon phase attracted me to it. I first had the 5036 and sold it to get this. No regrets! I still love my PP5056P and it still keeps good time.

To all of you, thanks for welcoming me warmly. I appreciate your comments. I love wearing this stealthy complication piece when there is a need for low profile but dressy. Also, you don't see many of these (I have never seen one on someone else's wrist), ... 

that really is a stunning watch. Wear it in good health!
