Annual Calendar 5396R

Day and month in windows, date at 6 o’clock, moon phases. One correction a year.

Patek Philippe patented the annual calendar in 1996. It knows the difference between 30- and 31-day months, so it only needs setting once a year, at the end of February.

The 5396 shows the day and month in two windows under 12 o’clock and the date above the moon phase at 6 o’clock, with a 24-hour hand around it.

This version has a 38.5 mm rose gold case and a sunburst sand-beige dial.
