Patek Philippe 5396G-017 Annual Calendar Blue Gradient Dial Watch

Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5396G-017 – White Gold with Blue Dial

The Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5396G-017 is a distinguished timepiece that blends elegant design with practical sophistication. Crafted in 18k white gold, this model carries the refined legacy of the 5396 series while introducing refreshed styling for modern wearers.

The 38.5 mm white gold case, with a thickness of approximately 11.2 mm, strikes a balance between traditional proportions and contemporary presence. The polished surfaces, slim bezel and sapphire case-back all reflect the meticulous finishing that is a hallmark of Patek Philippe.

At the heart of this model is its sunburst blue dial with a subtle black-gradient rim—an eye-catching yet refined colour scheme. The dial is enhanced with twelve baguette-cut diamond hour markers (total ~0.26 carats), which bring discreet sparkle without overwhelming the design. White-gold dauphine-style hands ensure legibility and elegance. The layout remains classic: a double aperture at 12 o’clock displays the day and month, while a date indication and 24-hour sub-dial with integrated moon-phase occupy the lower half of the dial.

Underneath the dial resides Calibre 26-330 S QA LU 24H, a self-winding movement developed in-house. This caliber powers the annual calendar function—requiring adjustment just once each year at the end of February—and offers a power reserve of approximately 35 to 45 hours. The movement runs at 4 Hz and features a 21k gold central rotor, and numerous fine finishes visible through the sapphire exhibition back.

The watch is fitted with a shiny navy-blue alligator leather strap, hand-stitched with matching thread, and secured by a white-gold fold-over clasp. The strap’s tone complements the dial while maintaining formal sophistication.
