The 5396 arrived in 2006 and is the vertically symmetric annual calendar in the range, day and month in twin apertures below 12, date and moon phase together at 6. It is the reference collectors treat as the everyday Patek complication, and the dial layout borrows from the house's own 1930s work.

This Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Moon Phases wears a 38.5mm 18k white gold case with a sunburst blue dial and baguette diamond markers. Calibre 26-330 S QA LU inside, on a navy alligator strap.

Fun fact: the calibre changed under the surface with this generation. The 5396 moved off the long-serving 324 to the 26-330, a 339-part movement running a silicon hairspring.

The collection

Annual Calendar

The calendar Patek patented in 1996, set once a year at the end of February

Patek Philippe patented the annual calendar in 1996 and introduced it in the reference 5035, a self-winding watch that reads the long and short months by itself and needs one correction a year, at the end of February. It sits between a simple date and a perpetual calendar, since it knows which months run to 30 and 31 days but not February. The tell is three apertures for day, date and month set along the arc of a circle below 12, with a moon phase and 24 hour indication at 6 on many references. Patek files the family under Complications, and it runs from plain round gold references through the regulator, travel time and flyback chronograph versions to diamond set ladies models.

Sizes in the family

38 to 42 mm on current references, earlier pieces smaller

Who it suits

For the buyer who wants a calendar on the dial but is content to set it once a year, at the end of February.
