Patek Philippe 5496P Perpetual Calendar Platinum Silver Dial

Introduced at BaselWorld 2011, the Patek Philippe 5496P‑001 combines the house’s storied Calatrava heritage with a modern perpetual calendar and retrograde date. Housed in a 39.5 mm platinum case, this model features a satin‑silver dial with applied gold hour markers and a red‑tipped retrograde date hand, complemented by day, month, leap‑year apertures and a moon‑phase at 6 o’clock. Powered by the automatic Caliber 324 S QR—Patek’s refined self‑winding movement with 30 jewels, 45‑hour power reserve, and the prestigious Patek Philippe Seal—this watch offers both technical excellence and enduring collector appeal. The platinum case includes an interchangeable solid and sapphire caseback, allowing wearers to admire the beautifully finished movement or maintain a more traditional presentation. With 30 m water resistance and a discreet diamond set between the lugs at 6 o’clock, it is a subtle yet luxurious expression of haute horlogerie. Though not a limited edition, its combination of complications, precious material, and historical lineage make it a highly sought‑after piece among connoisseurs. Like New with Patek Philippe box, setting pin, additional solid caseback, and papers dated 2013.
