Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Reference 5396R with Patek Philippe Extract in mint condition. This elegant model in 18-carat rose gold is one of the most important classics within the Annual Calendar line, a complication pioneered by Patek Philippe in 1996. Introduced in 2006, the Reference 5396 interprets the complication with a particularly balanced dial layout: day and month in twin apertures beneath twelve o’clock, date at six o’clock, complemented by moon phase and 24-hour indication. The harmonious composition of traditional design and technical refinement underscores its status as a timeless representative of haute horlogerie. Powered by the automatic manufacture calibre 324 S QA LU 24H, the 5396 offers one of Patek Philippe’s most practical complications – automatically accounting for the varying lengths of months with only one manual adjustment required per year. The 5396R is considered a sought-after Annual Calendar, combining aesthetics, functionality, and collectability in exemplary fashion.

In the right time

Rocket Science

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. Watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
