  • Catalogue Essay

    Introduced in 2006, reference 5396 is an annual calendar upgrade of time-only reference 5296. Heavily influenced by masterpieces from the company’s rich history, the model’s case is inspired by the Calatrava cases of the mid-20th century, defined by simple flowing lines. The dial is instead inspired by a different vintage model - reference 3448 - from which it reprises the windows, indexes and moonphases disposition, the main difference being in the subsidiary dial: reference 3448 uses it for the display of the date, while in this instance it features a 24-hour indication, the date reassigned to a third window at 6 o’ clock.

    The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5396G-011 features the rare and desirable retailer signature of Tiffany & Co. on the dial. Well-preserved with very minimal wear, it is a great opportunity for collectors to acquire an elegant and practical timepiece manufactured by Patek Philippe and stamped by Tiffany & Co.
