I've seen this model in person and I have to say that it appears to be very nostalgic to the other Reference 96-cased perpetual calendars of the past.
A great classic that is also available in a white gold format.
I'm going to miss the old sector dial though. I'll only be able to see it on the 5296 from now on...
