Loved getting this extended peek at this amazing watch! To say the 5236 is out of my price range is the understatement of this and/or any other century but I absolutely love this mechanical marvel! Mechanical perpetual calendar watches are a real fascination of mine and to see an in line one is truly remarkable. Wholly unnecessary in this day and age of course but what a wonderful little machine.
I’m actually glad Rolex isn’t in the title. I’m not the biggest Rolex fan and I know it is popular, but your channel is good enough without that gimmick.
It won’t get there, one big problem with almost every perpetual calendar watch is that they need to be maintained every 5 years if you ware them daily, so they’re not that perpetual
This isn't just a watch, it's a work of art. Incredibly complicated but simple on the eye and for what achieves is worth an Oscar. The 'problem' with engineers is that they like to do difficult and complicated things that are not always something that the end user really wants and there sometimes seems to be tension between what the market really wants and what the engineers want to do. The execution of this watch oozes harmony between the two. Sign off a design spec and then develop it. Often that up front spec is incomplete before development has had to start to meet deadlines and tension increases.
3:11 Ouch! Damn it's a beautiful watch, so gorgeous infact that I too would wear it every day ... and scuff it too. Do I own enough 'stuff' that I got sell so I could get one - probably not - but what a lovely dream.
this is why I subbed to this channel. Also, you're more personal video with the other enthusiast was amazing. I can only dream of what a watch is and everytime I see something amazing like this PP my mouth waters and I feel like I need to get out there and bank some money
About bridges split and A&S 3/4 plate: is it still true today or only on old times movements? I hardly imagined until you said it that the 3/4 plate is a bigger refinement than the splitter one! Thank you!
Although they may be difficult to read, they are without doubt incredibly beautifull to look at & finished to another level. I could live with the complexity if i had the chance.
One thing is missing, I think. There should be vertical separation bars between the day, date and month, to look like a neat little framed window, and to cover up those slits that can be clearly seen through.
Not if it's done properly. It would be only a couple of vertical spacers, maybe 1- 1.5mm long, and would fit right inside the window, taking up no extra space.
@@valengreymoon5623 how can you possibly insert something that doesn’t take up space? Try drawing it, keep the proportions the same (text spacing, size) I don’t think you’re taking into account that your separation bars can’t be any thickness, they have to be aesthetically proportional to the rest of the window
@@valengreymoon5623 oh yeah, I was suggesting you home mod $170k watch 😂 You’re wrong, I can’t find a separated day date month window with ‘bars’. I think you’re confusing a frame around the whole window. Link one if I’m wrong, happy to be corrected. Also, Seiko’s aesthetics and quality are trash, even Grand Seiko can’t do this level of complication.
Nice but at 7.57 (close up) the edges between the wheels looks quite ropey? Perhaps its was underneath but could be neater for that money. (Appreciate this is magnified somewhat)
Are they going to calibrate the watch once we go back to a 360 day calendar? They also need to delete the leap year. We are in the year 5916 if I am correct. LOL
Don’t think that’s the problem of Patek Philippe with their perpetual calendars , what they need to have is a single pusher to advance the the entire calendar . A Lange did it , so has GO .even AP
I don't like this nearly as much as the previous generation annual calendar with the separate windows around the upper arch...... This feels like a step back to me
That Nautilus day wheel/window looks wrong to me in my mind numbers 1,3,5 and 7 the bottom of the numbers are around the edge of the wheel/window Then they reverse at 9 and the top of the numbers are now going around the edge of the wheel/window. So to me at a quick glance when I first looked, it looked like the 9 was a 6 so maybe they should made the change at 11. They have reverse the other wheels/windows too I suppose this is made this way so you do not read numbers, days and months upside down? But still looks odd to my mind.
Well, the Last Windowed Patek already gave IWC a hiding, so now this is an even bigger kick to IWC. Patek are without doubt a market leader, but like most, my Grand Seiko does fine and 44 times less expensive! My iphone does the rest very accurately indeed.
Hey Mr Watchfinder. Can you help me?. As a retired mechanical watch lover I am seeking something that I have never seen. I would love to find a watch that has a day (spelled fully) but NOT a date! That way I could keep track of the days in my newly retired life, but never have to adjust it. I have never seen a watch that tells day but not date. If anyone reading this has seen one please let me know. Love the channel
I agree that window display work very well for calendar complications. It makes for a much cleaner layout. But I have issues with this particular window soulution: (1) they actually have a "big date" complication (with the 2 digits of the date on 2 seperate wheels). This is an extra complication which allows the date to be bigger. But they don't make use of it. The date still is rather small. Look for ALS on how to properly make use of this complication (2) There actually seems to be dirt (!) between the different disks of the date display. (you can clearly see it at 7:58). (3) such a beautiful blue dial. And then they ruin it by putting ugly white wheels in the date window. (4) The wheels are set in such a way that makes the date acutally rather unpleasent to read. In the PP annual calendars they have date/month/day in seperate windwos - which looks much better. (and would have solved the dirt issue as well).
All nice but now the date reads as SAT)1)(8(MAR and sits inside a strangely wide aperture. Moser‘s perpetual calendar display is even simpler and equally easy to read!
I like this one , very nice , I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford one though , damn , I’m off to goodwill to look for some bargains , peace ✌️ 😎🌴
I just hate long slot day/date windows and won't have them, and this should be worse. But with symmetry I could live with it. Could I walk the streets wit this much money on my wrist? My bank balance saves me the concern. Such a shame folks think Nautilus when they think PP, because this is what they are really all about.
The problems with perpetual calendar watches prove the superiority of time only watches. Everything else is a distraction. The Patek Philippe In-line Perpetual Calendar 5236P is an efficient but inelegant solution. The date window squeezes the letters and numbers of clashing widths into a space fit for tinned anchovies.
Admittedly, very nice watch. However, I do wish the major companies would get over their phobia of creating watches greater than 43 mm. There are many advantages, aesthetically and mechanically to a watch 45 mm or larger.
We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder
Nice to see the Patek with some scratches. Shows it is being enjoyed and not locked away in a safe

So that leap year disc takes 8 years rotate once ? That's crazy. Every NYE I'd be staring at my watch waiting for the little number to change.
It won’t get there, one big problem with almost every perpetual calendar watch is that they need to be maintained every 5 years if you ware them daily, so they’re not that perpetual
You can keep all the Nautiluses. THIS is the real cool Patek stuff
It's not just a trend, this one is perpetually cool
This is absolutely amazing. Patek can be absolutely magisterial when they want to.
The scuffs and scratches on this Patek make it so much sexier, I'm glad the owner is a real one and wears it proudly.

If only had the spring drive movement...
@@alexlilano1931 well, i'm not as poor as you.
Best watchfinder video in a while. Fantastic watch.
That movement engineering is so interesting. Love to see how they decided to make the display readable
This is one of my favorite PP.

Seiko and Grand Seiko make everything in-house.
Although they may be difficult to read, they are without doubt incredibly beautifull to look at & finished to another level. I could live with the complexity if i had the chance.
The 5320G is by far the most legible perpetual calendar and fully lumed.
Not once been featured !
Brilliant description! Thank you!
This is what I like best….you talking about the very top horological pieces, brilliant!
Excellent history and watch design review.
One thing is missing, I think. There should be vertical separation bars between the day, date and month, to look like a neat little framed window, and to cover up those slits that can be clearly seen through.
Would that not make the dial space bigger and disproportionate, whist at the same time make the actual date text smaller and less legible?
Not if it's done properly. It would be only a couple of vertical spacers, maybe 1- 1.5mm long, and would fit right inside the window, taking up no extra space.

I don’t think you’re taking into account that your separation bars can’t be any thickness, they have to be aesthetically proportional to the rest of the window
Let me clarify. I was talking about from the factory, not a home-done mod. If Seiko can do it, I'm pretty sure Patek could as well.
@@valengreymoon5623 oh yeah, I was suggesting you home mod $170k watch 😂

Very nice though the pics and videos I have seen show it to be way more blue. Is this another color option for this watch?
Makes lots of sense. Thank you!
I like your style of presentation in your videos. It's a well-honed skill at this point.
@3:10…love to see “Owner Use” on the bezel. 👍
Nice Patek Philippe improvement.
Another great production team 👏
Nice but at 7.57 (close up) the edges between the wheels looks quite ropey? Perhaps its was underneath but could be neater for that money. (Appreciate this is magnified somewhat)
Who is the "& Co." ? - keen to know who I am buying from?
By watching the macro shots you realize PP is only hype and complications, looks bad in alot of places.
Are they going to calibrate the watch once we go back to a 360 day calendar? They also need to delete the leap year. We are in the year 5916 if I am correct. LOL

Very clever. Love the back, really dislike the date complication on any watch,& this ain't pretty. Cool video, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
I absolutely love this watch. I could never justify spending that much on a watch, even if I had it, but I just love it.
When you be earning in 8 or 9 figures, the justification will come automatically......
Wow this was definitely the only thing stopping me from buying one, will head straight out now
Marvelous video and incredible watch!!
Hold up… PP fixed it? Don’t they still use JLC movements? So did PP modify it to fix the display? Might be a dumb question but I’m asking anyway…
Gorgeous piece one day maybe as have been seeing it for less than msrp
please make a video about 5712
Now make it in 37mm please😂
Wow that’s a great looking watch!
I don't like this nearly as much as the previous generation annual calendar with the separate windows around the upper arch...... This feels like a step back to me

Absolutely a watch for You if You only can own one watch.
This one is a beauty. Not including price)))))
Man, that watch is absolutely gorgeous 🤩
Now if Tissot could only put a larger crown on the PRX 80
That is one beautiful watch

Patek Philippe should have put RRP for this as $127,241
I thought they were addressing those extra two digits in their prices whenever I want to buy one of their watches.
sorry, but it looks like a wall clock from the front :D
isn't Seiko all in house.
Definitely not impressed by the finishing of the seconds register
Thought you meant the price.
optimum mechanical design? HIM watches proved otherwise, these people were just adding parts till it started working somehow
I thought the big problem was the price!
That is one fine piece of metal
Came here to see if the problem was the price.
Oh... I thought they finally brought down their prices...
Watching these videos knowing that I can't afford to buy one 🤣 happy owning a couple of Titan watches
That is amazing true masterpeice
Interesting, but you do go on . . and on . . and on . . .
That scratch @3:10 must have hurt. Beautiful watch though.
I like this one , very nice , I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford one though , damn , I’m off to goodwill to look for some bargains , peace ✌️ 😎🌴
Valiant effort, but for our and out style and simplicity, Moser have them beat
Such a beautiful watch! are there any similar alternative watches you know that look alike on a budget under $700 meybe under $500 ?
Simplicity is elegance, and this piece may be the epitome of grand complication elegance.
I like this. A lot! 😍 And it’s only £104K 🤣
My grail watch.
"SAT18MAR"
They aren't even trying anymore, are they?
I want one

My bank balance saves me the concern. Such a shame folks think Nautilus when they think PP, because this is what they are really all about.
And still people going crazy about some BS color dial variations on the Nautilus...
Being too expensive??
Oh... No.
PF is going down...a rivederci.
Who but Patek would make a 34mm perpetual calendar in this day and age and still be sure they can sell it at 130k?
Problem is price!
Less is more , simply beautiful
Yeah man. Here borrow my $180k watch…… super beautiful
How do I have my great great grandchildren disinherited if they ever let my perpetual watch run down?

Admittedly, very nice watch. However, I do wish the major companies would get over their phobia of creating watches greater than 43 mm. There are many advantages, aesthetically and mechanically to a watch 45 mm or larger.
What would these advantages be?
