Patek Philippe 5396R-011 Annual Calendar 18K Rose Gold Silver Dial

The Patek Philippe 5396R‑011 Annual Calendar in 18K rose gold is a masterclass in refined complication, marrying elegance with horological innovation. Housed in a 38.5 mm Calatrava‑style case and standing just 11.2 mm tall, this model offers a svelte profile that belies its technical sophistication. Introduced as part of Patek’s celebrated Annual Calendar line, it features the self‑winding caliber 26‑330 S QA LU 24H (also referred to as 324 S QA LU 24H/303), a modern movement delivering a 35–45‑hour power reserve and the Patek Philippe Seal. The silvery opaline dial is beautifully balanced, with twin day‑month apertures at 12 o’clock, a date window at 6 o’clock, and a 24‑hour subdial integrated with a moon‑phase display—an arrangement that pays homage to mid‑century Patek design while offering intuitive legibility. The watch is fitted with a shiny chocolate brown alligator strap secured by a rose gold fold‑over clasp, enhancing its dressy appeal. Water‑resistant to 30 m, this model remains practical for daily wear yet retains an air of understated luxury. Collectors prize the 5396R‑011 for its harmonious dial layout, the modern annual calendar mechanism that only requires adjustment once per year, and the seamless integration of classic aesthetics with contemporary movement architecture.
