Patek Philippe 5396R-016 Annual Calendar 38mm Rose Gold Sunburst Sand Beige Dial Watch

Patek Philippe 5396R-016 Annual Calendar 38mm Rose Gold Sunburst Sand Beige Dial Watch

The Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5396R-016 introduces a new dial colour to the classic 5396 reference — a sunburst sand beige that gives this refined 38mm rose gold annual calendar a warm, earthy character entirely distinct from its predecessors. The annual calendar is Patek Philippe’s most practical complication — requiring manual correction only once a year, at the end of February.

The Annual Calendar — Practical Elegance

Unlike a perpetual calendar, which requires no correction until 2100, the annual calendar distinguishes between 30-day and 31-day months automatically but requires a single correction at the end of February each year. This mechanical intelligence is housed in Calibre 324 S QA LU 24H — a movement that also displays the moon phase and a 24-hour day/night indicator. The result is a watch of exceptional daily utility dressed in the most elegant Calatrava-adjacent case Patek Philippe produces at this size.

Sunburst Sand Beige — A New Warmth

The sunburst sand beige dial is a masterpiece of subtle colour — warm without being golden, neutral without being grey, beige without being bland. In combination with the 18k rose gold case, it creates a harmonious all-warm composition that pairs effortlessly with both formal and casual dress. The beige alligator leather strap completes the palette with supple precision. Water resistant to 30 metres.
