  • Catalogue Essay

    Remastering the aesthetic codes of the legendary Calatrava line, Patek Philippe reference 5396 boasts an elegant case with flowing, defined lines. Featuring an annual calendar that displays the date, day, month, and moon phases, the symmetrical dial pays homage to the iconic perpetual calendar reference 3448. This ingenious mechanism, which requires correction only once a year, has become one of Patek Philippe’s flagship models.

    Since its debut in 2006, the reference 5396 has been offered in various case metals and dial designs, ranging from sector dials to Breguet numerals. The present example in pink gold features a silvery opaline dial with applied baton indexes, pearl minute divisions, and dauphine hands. Presented in excellent overall condition, it is undoubtedly one of the most elegant and classical iterations ever produced.

    As of February 2024, this timepiece has been discontinued, making this lot an excellent opportunity not to be missed.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
