PATEK PHILIPPE Annual Calendar – Ref. 5396G-017 – White Gold – Blue Sunburst Diamond Dial – Box & Papers  – Germany 2025

Offered here is an exceptional example of the highly desirable Patek Philippe Annual Calendar, Reference 5396G-017, presented in outstanding condition and first sold in Germany, late 2025.

Crafted from 18k white gold, the elegant 38.5 mm case perfectly captures the timeless proportions and understated sophistication that have established the reference 5396 as one of Patek Philippe's most refined and enduring complicated dress watches. The watch is fitted with its original blue alligator leather strap and original 18k white gold Patek Philippe folding clasp.

The defining feature of this reference is its stunning blue sunburst dial, whose rich metallic finish changes beautifully under varying light conditions. Applied baguett cut diamond hour markers lend the watch an additional touch of elegance while preserving the clean, balanced aesthetic for which the model is renowned. The classic Annual Calendar layout displays the day and month through twin apertures beneath 12 o'clock, while the date is combined with Patek Philippe's signature moon-phase display at 6 o’clock that also containes a 24h indicator , complemented by a sweeping central seconds hand.

Powering the watch is the celebrated Patek Philippe Caliber 324 S QA LU 24H, an automatic manufacture movement visible through the sapphire crystal case back. Beautifully finished according to the highest standards of Genevan watchmaking, the movement combines technical sophistication with exceptional reliability and refined craftsmanship.

Introduced by Patek Philippe in 1996, the Annual Calendar remains one of the manufacture's most significant horological innovations. Positioned between a traditional complete calendar and a perpetual calendar, the ingenious mechanism automatically distinguishes between months with 30 and 31 days, requiring adjustment only once per year at the end of February.

Patented by Patek Philippe, this groundbreaking complication redefined the modern calendar watch by offering much of the convenience of a perpetual calendar while maintaining greater practicality and ease of use. Today, the Annual Calendar stands among the manufacture's most iconic complications and continues to represent the perfect balance between technical excellence and everyday wearability.
