What a fantastic and rare PP. Well done!

Mine is the 014 (only produced 2017-19 I believe) whereas the 15 is the same as mine but with diamonds on the dial The picture is a bit dark but it is indeed blue - the below pictures show the blue more clearly (it shifts from light navy to very dark navy...

Thanks, indeed the blue dial I was thinking but it's fascinating to see how it changes dramatically under different lights! ;-) And you're correct, this is -014 while -015 (which is actually still in the catalog) has the diamond markers👍🥂

Patek Philippe

5396 back on the wrist

Very hard to do this watch justice in pics indeed given the beauty of it! :)

A lovely reference -- is this the blue dial -015? Looks much darker from the picture but I can't recall any darker dials among the (many!) 5396 iterations ;-) Cheers from my old (and still amazingly in the catalog!) -011 :-)

Your 5396 looks great - the classic colour combo is hard to beat

The color contrast between the dark blue dial and the gold case makes this watch interesting, and the AC complication makes...
