PATEK PHILIPPE, WHITE GOLD ANNUAL CALENDAR DUAL TIME WRISTWATCH, REF. 5326G-001
Technically, this impressive new complication cannot be underestimated, the new automatic caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H movement was especially created for the model and as a result, eight new Patek Philippe patents were filed. Aesthetically, it is equally impressive, and whilst resolutely contemporary, it clearly references Patek Philippe’s vintage DNA in the hobnail decoration of the 41 mm. case, and in addition, the sublime granular charcoal gray dial lends the perfect mid-century vibe.
Combining for the first time Patek Philippe’s annual calendar function (introduced in 1996) with the travel time function (1997) is a significant achievement in itself. These two complications are perfectly complementary so that the watch is very practical, useful and easy to operate. A new and ingenious patented system first seen in 2021, whereby adjustments to both time zones are made by the single crown eliminated the need for pushers in the case band so that the design of this new model is overall much more streamlined. The most remarkable feature of the reference 5326 is that the annual calendar, which automatically corrects for the number of days in each month, only requiring a single adjustment annually in February, is allied to the local time rather than home time. This entirely new system gives the calendar mechanism the ability to adjust forward and backward together with the setting of the second time zone.
A source of great pride for Patek Philippe and undoubtedly set to become a classic, reference 5326G was featured on the cover of the official 2022 Collection Patek Philippe Catalogue.

The condition of lots sold in our auctions can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their nature means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold "as is," in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Christie's or by the seller. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry or in a condition report will not amount to a full description of condition, and images may not show a lot clearly. Colours and shades may look different in print or on screen to how they look on physical inspection. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. Condition reports are provided free of charge as a convenience to our buyers and are for guidance only. They offer our opinion but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation because our staff are not professional restorers or conservators. For that reason they are not an alternative to examining a lot in person or taking your own professional advice. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any condition report.
