NWA/ First Patek

After a decent wait I finally have my first Patek, and first proper dress watch!

I wanted something classic, with some complications, and something that would be "Timeless" both in design and colour with rose gold, white dial, brown strap.
The 5396R-011 ticked all the boxes, I especially love it's influences from the vintage 3449.

Congratulations! I received my 5396 a few weeks ago. I am drawn to it for the reasons you describe. My first Patek and I’m thrilled. I’m trying to find different bands to dress it down occasionally.
Last night the full moon showed!

Lovely!

Sadly can’t post photos of mine until i’ve a few more posts on the forums

I saw someone online who had put a green strap on the 5396 and thought it give a whole different vibe! I’ve yet to order a different strap for it.

Thank you! I went into our AD last week and they showed me about a dozen straps, but not green. I’ll have to look into that as an option.
