- #PatekPhilippe #PatekPhilippeCalatrava #PatekPhilippeComplication @PatekPhilippeGeneva For Patek Philippe, the technical perfection and aesthetic beauty of a timepiece have always had the same significance. In its quest to repeatedly develop new functions and complications, Patek Philippe can rely on over 180 years of uninterrupted experience that allow it to offer reliable and exceptional models. The new Ref. 5326G-001 is a fine example. When creating its timepieces, the manufacture always leverages its entire know-how for the benefit of its customers. It is resolutely handed down from one generation to the next and belongs to the rich heritage of technical progress crowned by over one hundred patents. The Annual Calendar and the Travel Time mechanism perfectly illustrate Patek Philippe’s customer-centric development philosophy - now, they have come together in the new Ref. 5326G-001.
Patek Philippe is expanding its range of complicated watches by combining for the first time the patented Annual Calendar - which requires only one manual correction per year - with the Travel Time dual time-zone display system. The technical originality of this new Annual Calendar is that it always indicates the exact date for local time.
To provide this unique functionality, the engineers designed a new self-winding movement in which the Travel Time mechanism controls the Annual Calendar, thus allowing forwards and backwards date correction. While the dual time-zone display retains its two central hour hands (a solid hand for local time and a skeletonized hand for home time), instead of the usual two pushers, the local time is corrected by means of the crown pulled out to the intermediate position: a solution that proves both technical and aesthetic by preserving the elegance of the Calatrava-type case. The Annual Calendar has also been reworked, with accelerated disk passages enabling optimal synchronization of the date and local time.
The new 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H caliber is accompanied by eight patent applications for innovations improving precision, performance, reliability, safety and user-friendliness.
This model comes with a new Calatrava-type case adorned with a guilloched Clous de Paris (or hobnail pattern) decoration emblematic of the Patek Philippe style.
Drawing on a vintage inspiration, the dial is distinguished by its char- coal gray color with a black-gradient rim and a slightly grainy texture reminiscent of antique camera cases.
The new Reference 5326G-001 Annual Calendar and Travel Time is accompanied by two interchangeable straps - one in beige calfskin with a nubuck finish; the other in black calfskin with an embossed fabric pat- tern and contrasting beige stitching - both secured by a white gold fold-over clasp.

Love the dial on this one. A lovely casual watch to wear with jeans and a T-shirt. In the summer I would put it on a rubber strap to combat the persperation and keep the leather for cooler weather. It would be interesting to see them offer in on a bracelet as well.
Rubber strap would be very, very cool or a woven textile strap with matching colors…
@@WatchAdvisor Yes, I really like the way Patek is getting into more casual straps for "dress" watches. Alligator skin...this is a look for 80-year-old retired bankers! 😁 (I'm kidding, of course. But a more casual look is exactly right for our times, IMO.)
@@WatchAdvisor oh yes, sailcloth, the texture would be perfect for the dial!
I like the aesthetics of this watch a lot. However, I have two major gripes for what is being sold as the perfect travel companion. Ideally I want to travel with one watch, this PP being rated to only 30m WR is not enough. This should be 100m so it can handle any and all activities while travelling. Secondly, 48hrs of power reserve is below average these days, I expect more from Patek.
I just cant figure out why Patek seems to be pursuing this "rugged field or aviation" style aesthetic.To me it looks like they have taken a cue from Hamilton or Oris who cover this segment well.When I think of Patek I think of major complications in precious metals , The Henry Graves pocket watch ect.They dwell high on the horological mountain amidst the clouds not in the realm of utilitarian tool watches.The movement is extremely impressive though.
Many longterm PP buyers and collectors very much like the steps, this thinking out of the box though… and therewith PP attracts new potential buyers… So what’s wrong?
I watched this video when you released it. Yesterday, I tried this watch on its the Patek I am lusting for, pictures and videos do not do this piece justice. It is unbelievable!
Thanks for sharing! Congratulations! How long will you have to wait for it?
Impossible to say, but think i have to be approved by the brand for this piece. I suspect it should be within 6 months, it could be sooner, it could be longer. It's in the hands of the watch gods. @@WatchAdvisor
Fantastic review, as ever Alexander. Now, I'm a huge Patek fan and owner, but this watch (and other recent Pateks) concerns me. Nothing to do with the quality of course and an excellent signature complication, but the design and its indication of where Patek is going with its Complications. Overly large, inelegant, casual. Shudder. I understand the need of companies to break new ground and communicate to new customers, but Patek seems to be throwing the baby out with the bathwater! I think many younger Patek customers bought into the marque for their timelessness, traditional design and ethos (not their steel models!), only to see it start to ebb away in a move to compete with steel Rolex. Wouldn't it have been easier just to make more Nautilauts and keep the rest of the range true to their hard-earned identity?
James, thanks for sharing! Interesting read… I personally like the moves the brand makes, since for me PP was far to conservative… And I don’t think PP is targeting primarily youngsters with such moves… Real luxury, as PP is, can handle a certain amount of modernity/progressivism …
Thank you , Alexander, for this run-though of a admittedly dream pice. Love the slightly casual outfit of this high end piece.
As usual you are setting the benchmark of deep diving watch videos. Mercy 🙏🏻👏
Alexander, I am happy to read this. Thanks for sharing our passion! IMHO the 5326 was missing in the world of horological complications… I love the simplicity and complexity of that watch/movement…
my two favorite complications together. the design is excellent. love the syringe hands. but overall not a watch I would buy for the price.
I want to buy the watch . How can I ? I am so sick of gray market . How can a normal consumer to buy one avoiding greasy dealers ?
Thank you
Also a pointer in English language almost every word 95% has stress on the first syllable . Not a cale’ndar but ca’lendar
What kind of answer is this? I don’t get the point…
Thank you. Now I’m done with other brands and I’m saving on this Patek now
Love your passion! Thanks for sharing… keep us posted how your journey continues…
Wish PP expands their game into metal bracelets option for all their models especially for their non dressy models at least and I say at least because I love to see some of their dressy models on metal bracelets also , it would really make a world of difference, think VC 222.
you should not wind the hands backwards if at all possible it causes extra wear
Nice group of complications, good movement (from 5235), and cool case. But, that dial is anything but elegant. Also, since the watch travels, steel would have been a more durable material and more WR would help too.
The dial design had to follow some engineering specifications… Concerning the WR and case material I agree!
Inteeresting complications and functions! Thanks for sharing this beautiful watch!
Very unique on top … 😉
Incredible watch! This is a dream addition to my collection. Thank you so much for the "deep dive" into this piece!
You are very welcome, thanks for sharing our passion, I am happy to read this…
Sober, utilitarian in look, modern in dial and case design, and luxurios in execution ! This watch is a serious step toward modern day appearance and functionality ! Well done, Patek Philippe ! And very detailed and very informative video ! Great job, Alexander !!!
Thanks for sharing our passion! IMHO Patek Philippe must surprise us with modern unexpected design…
Absolutely stunning - it's growing on me slowly but surely.
Well, a new design always need some time ... but that new it isn't though ... PP uses a common, yet a very popular design, and adds some additional indications ... This watch is all you need on a daily base and if you travel a lot...
@@WatchAdvisor Yep - i'm a regular traveller and this watch makes a lot of sense to me. Still, I just put my name for the Annual Calendar 5396G - Classic in white. Clean.
I'm sure i can love and enjoy the 5396G for the rest of my life.
Patek is King 👑
Good choice! How long will you have to wait? I keep my fingers crossed ...
@@WatchAdvisor have been told before the end of the year. Just bought my wife a world time 7130R from the AD. I already own 5231J world time. Wife is getting Twenty4 in the next few months. Slowly, slowly.
@@jamieopulence Congratulations! Bravo, thanks for sharing! May your Patek Philippe watches always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours and may the waiting time for you be as short as possible
it's better to present it via a real flight from Tokyo to New York 🤭👍
If you own one… book a flight and share your detailed thoughts with us…. You can also send me pictures and a text … I will them both publish in our community section under your real name…
The date is on the sub-dial edge. Completely poor choice in design.
Yeah, I'm not convinced by the dial. (The simple time-date version of this watch is a very successful design though. It's like a military field-watch - but maybe for the General instead of for regular troops😄)
In order to be able to implement and realize all the technical necessary components your design choices are limited. IMHO this watch is just perfect as it is…
@@WatchAdvisor Yes, but the real magic happens when there are some complications but the design is still simple and elegant. My 5212A gives hours, minutes, sweep seconds, simple date, day of week, and week of year. But it is still all done in an exceptionally beautiful and elegant way, IMHO.😎
The date kinda messes up this watch. Any body agrees with me?
Have you also thought about the technical side? It is not so easy to realize a different date indication then the one PP did…
@@WatchAdvisor perhaps it is not easy for you, so why assume it is not easy for others?
@@cc8530 I am not PP… you should discuss this with PP… just my two cents…
@Harry Balls 🤔😆😂🤣😂🤣😂😝
@@WatchAdvisor why should I discuss with PP when you seem to give your 2 cents but when others do you tell them to talk to the manufacturer.
Why don’t you talk to the manufacturer instead of giving your two cents and assuming what others cam and can’t do.
By the way, this is just my two cents
This is the watch I picture a billionaire doing yard work in if he did his own yard work.
Are you serious 🧐? That’s a technical interesting and beautiful watch… Why downgrading it to “yard work”?
@@WatchAdvisor At first glance it appears to be very basic. The strap color and dial texture give off a very rugged appearance. If you handed this to a non watch guy they wouldn’t know what they are looking at. It doesn’t say “luxury”. So for someone with unlimited funds this watch looks “rugged” enough to take into the garden but they know it is still a Patek thus why a billionaire would cut the grass with it.
Loved it as soon as I saw it and thought if it was a reasonable price you know, maybe... Then I found out the price.
It is a complication and not just a simple watch... Eight patents have been filed to protect the inventions...
Really stunning piece. I love the strap.
There are two options in fact…
Probably the most impressive watch of 2022. But Rolex did sort of think about it 10 years ago. No special sky dweller on the 10th anniversary, but a very special Patek. I wonder if Mr. Rolex knew Patek would release this new model?
IMHO the two watches have absolutely nothing in common… I don’t get the point…
Thanks Alexander, well presented..👍.. its a genius movement and I like the size and the case design but for me personally, for this level of sophistication and value, I would prefer to see a different dial. Perhaps something a bit more classic. It reminds me of a Hamilton field watch. In person I’m sure it’s stunning..
Well, tastes are different… This watch clearly targets a younger generation and shows that PP does not stand still…
Great video, incredible watch!!!
Thanks for sharing our passion and your kind feedback!
Thanks for the video. This PP is stunning. The texture of the dial is outrageous in the most amazing way.
You are welcome, I am happy to read this …
I'm a time only type of person, but I don't understand the people complaining about the date window when it's an annual calendar. IMO Patek did a really good job with the arrangement of the dial considering all the functionalities you get in a mechanical (read, non quartz or smart) watch. One mm less would've made this more wearable on a smaller wrist. That CHF66k is too rich for my blood so I'll just admire it from afar. Good job, PP!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us and our passion!
As you said Alexander, spectacular & the fact that it is a Patek Philippe, how can it get any better. Thank you for the superb presentation.
It looks, sounds so easy… But why has no one done it before? It needs brains to do it!!! Thanks for sharing our passion!
Great video - is some of the new patented technology presented in the Calatrava version (the dial colour and texture) as well?
No! The Calatrava you are referring to is the 5226G… it is powered by the calibre 26-330 S C … watchbase.com/patek-philippe/caliber/26-330-s-c
Smart watch, smart review 👌 thanks Alexander..looking at the two hand version 5226G no decent reviews of this model available yet..
We couldn’t get hands on it yet… Keep us posted please…
@@WatchAdvisor Managed to get hands on today! Called into my local Patek AD..The dial, movement and sides of the case are exquisite…👌
Will email you some pictures I took this morning. Not available to purchase though: (
Got the pictures… looks really great… Did you ask how long it takes them to get another one?
@@WatchAdvisor Yep, likely to be 4 years or so for me, as they will only get probably one a year..
@@Giovan_Nino OMG 😳 !!! Do you have an alternative to buy somewhere else?
Thank you" the piston and the watch are all for five .....from Croatia 🥇...
Thanks for sharing our passion! Funny translation for the calibre/movement… “piston”… but I clearly understood what you wanted to say…😉😉
Love the dial on this one but i won't compare it to GS again because Alex might get angry :)
Thanks 😊
The dial looks like a road surface.
Maybe everyone will copy that surface now…
@@WatchAdvisor Not going to lie, my Longines Sprit Titanium 40 surface has a finer grain which i love at a much more wearable price for me :)
I think it’s like coarse grit sandpaper . Looks cheap and at odds with the magnificent movement and case and complication
Would You Tell Me What Is The Means , If The Watch Back Side Mentioned ‘‘ Au= ‘‘ As Well As This Video Clip Shows Patek Phillppe Watch‘s Back Side Mentioned ‘‘ Au 750 ‘‘ Sorry I Don‘t Have Very Deep Knowledge About The Watches.
Au 750 = 18 carat gold. Au is the abbreviation of the latin word "Aurum" for gold...
Au is gold. Periodic Table bro.
Sadly mine broke within 4 months of ownership. It’s been with Patek for 2 months and they are telling me it could be 6 more months.
What happened? Can you specify for us please?
I’d love to know the details too and if you still own it
Truly another tour de force from Patek. But I'm not sure I could live with that dial? Would have to see it in the steel before I plonk down $75K
The dial design had to follow some engineering specifications…
@@WatchAdvisor ...my concerns are more superficial. Specifically, texture and color.
Nice video mate🥃
Thanks for sharing our passion!
Amazing…
Thanks for sharing our passion!
Best review ever on you tube ...
Important question if I may ... according to the manual the watch has 2 different danger zones if push adjuster is used one for the moon phase and the other is for the date?
Please clarify ...
Here are your answers…
Correction push pieces should be actuated exclusively with the correction stylus that was delivered with the watch. The use of any other tool could damage your timepiece.
Do not perform any settings using the correction push pieces between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. (local time) for calendar corrections or between 8 a.m and 12 a.m. (home time) for moon-phase corrections.
Be sure not to set the month using the correction push piece when the date is on the 31st or the 1st of a month, as this would disrupt the calendar display and require additional corrections.
Setting the watch always follows some (technical) rules… Besides this, on a daily base, you can move the hands forward and backward as much you need to do. You will not harm the mechanism …
Thank you for your reply ... (local time) for calendar corrections or between 8 a.m and 12 a.m. I believe you changed everything using the adjuster at exactly 10 am !!! with no problems ?
@@shadibadawood9803 I just watched the video and I manipulated the watch at 10.00 a.m - yes .... That doesn’t necessarily harm the mechanism… maybe I stressed it a little bit ... Know, that everything is conceived with maximum security … it is an additional precaution/recommendation given by PP. If it would harm the mechanism it would be entirely blocked during that time… Thank you for sharing our passion!
Dat date window though... other than that it's a great watch. The texture of the dial, the details of the case, all good stuff. Patek repeatedly shows that they are not afraid to evolve their designs.
Have you also thought about the technical side? It is not so easy to realize a different date indication then the one PP did…
@@WatchAdvisor Clearly there's something about their annual calendar movements that favors that position, but I don't like it. The only Patek annual calendar where this is solved is on the 5205, and it looks great. But the date is just moved from 6 to 12 o'clock. My hope is that they can move the date to a subdial at 6 o'clock. Can you imagine the 5396 without a date window?!?!? It would be heavenly!
The wearer would need to be in business or first class...
It’s a watch that is under the radar… one could be everywhere…
GOD BLESS YOU ALEXANDER. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIEND. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PATEK PHILIPPE. ( I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PRECIOUS METAL WATCHES) 🙏
Thanks for sharing Peter!
@@WatchAdvisor YOU ARE VERY WELCOME ALEXANDER. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY CRY TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS, BLESSINGS AND LIFE TODAY! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL. 🙏🎄🎁🎅🎄🎅🎄🙏
Peter, are you okay?
Super Uhr Danke für die Erklärung der Kalibernr. 👍
Gerne! 😉
How many price in rupees please tell me ❤
You will find the price here: www.patek.com/
Could you tell us its lug to lug dimension?
Sorry I don’t have that number… we had after filming unfortunately no time left to measure such things…
there is no Monday May 1 . It's a Sunday May 1 .
I have not been setting the watch correctly!!! This was „just“ a random example to show you how it’s work…
A great piece Alexander. Great piece!
Thanks for sharing our passion!
So, what is new here in terms of functionality, and how is it better than Blancpain's Villeret annual calendar GMT REF: 6670 3642 55B? You should edit your audio of this video because saying there is nothing comparable on the market is bogus.
Please watch the video (again) … then you will know…
@@WatchAdvisor Please watch this video for the Blancpain Annual GMT (launched in 2011): ua-cam.com/video/i35N4RrVZmg/v-deo.html
Also, the ghost GMT hand is not new at all - check the old Calatrava 5134, for example.
The PP with its two hour hands is based on a different technical solution… it is more elegant… features day/night indications… you can also let the home-time hour hand disappear… the PP is the more sophisticated of the two constructions… it is unique… at least for the moment… so you can “compare” the watches, but IMHO it does not make much sense…
@@WatchAdvisor I like this PP reference. However, my point was that the ghost GMT hand and the annual calendar that moves back and forth correctly with the jumping hour hand are not new. The ghost hand is a Patek innovation AFAIK, but it has been present in watches from almost 20 years ago, such as the 5134 reference I mentioned. I pointed to Blancpain for the in-sync calendar feature (also, because I have that watch in my collection and it has one of the most clever mechanism for adjusting the calendar; no toothpicks needed :) ). Cheers!
@@stephenc1337 I know, the correctors are under the lugs… that’s very smart and useful… may your Blancpain continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
.
Does the full stop mean what I think?
Now that is a really nice watch.
What about the ingenious mechanism?
@@WatchAdvisor Trying to buy it, but my AD doesn’t hold out much hope they will get stock anytime soon.
Ah, finally we get to Patek 🤠
So, what do you think?
@@WatchAdvisor I'm on the interest list at my AD to get the simple time-date version. I'm not a fan of complicated dials. I do have a 5212A, and this dial works very well, IMO. But adding to complexity without spoiling the look isn't easy to do. (The functions of the caliber are impressive, however.)
Thanks for sharing! I keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏼
@@WatchAdvisor Well, the production of this new precious metal piece is not going to be a rarity, I think? (I had to _fight_ in order to get the 5212A though. I think I even told you about it at the time, Alexander? I had real problems with my old AD.)
Vooooovvvvv 🎊
Thanks for sharing our passion!
So the second hand hacks...shows they've been talking crap for years?
Can you specify please?
@@WatchAdvisor well they've always said that a hacking feature has an (however small) adverse effect on the movement.
Excellent review of an outstanding watch.
Thanks for sharing our passion!
@@WatchAdvisor I have a 5396R but just love this plus the new easy to operate when traveling.
Vet impressive.
What exactly do you like the most?
@@WatchAdvisor Alexander apart from the technical input, the overall presence of the watch is very impressive.
A very balanced face, which displays a hell of a lot of information , yet seems to me, to be uncluttered.
@@lesgillard1508 For me it is all you need on a daily base when you often travel… The only thing I personally wished is that it was blue and not grey/brown…
@@WatchAdvisor Alexander, I am sure your right for your job it would be a great choice for your travel requirements.
I am somewhat surprised that you would wish for a blue dial (ROFLMAO), who knows what the future may bring ;-)
What would you think of a Glashutte Original, Senator Cosmopolite , blue dial for the same requirement?
Imagine strapping it on a high quality beige NATO or Perlon strap. Many people think that this design looks cheap but for me this is the ultimate stealth wealth watch without worrying so much that you’re watch will be target by robber. I would however prefer if this is in platinum instead of white gold to give that even a stealthier wealth feel to it if I’m super rich.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and passion with us! 😉
The stitching on the back of the strap looks really bad
Really?
@@WatchAdvisor uneven
Quite an upgrade on the Seiko SPB211J1 they’ve ripped off!
You can't be serious writing this - sorry!
🤣
@@WatchAdvisor have a look at it
That is horrible. Take the name Patek off it and people wouldn’t give it a second look.
Well, tastes are different...
@@blackice4867 The Nautilus wasn't in their DNA back in 1974 either. There is nothing wrong with trying new designs. Besides they still produce their classical lugs in other pieces.
First! What an amazing watch
Second? Keep us posted please...
