Reference 5327
Introduced in 2016, the reference 5327 joined an illustrious lineage of Patek Philippe automatic perpetual calendars beginning with the reference 3448, followed by the 3450, then turning into the recognisable three register 3940, which was then increased in size to become the 5140, before finally giving way to the again larger 5327. As the trend in recent years has been for larger watches, the 5327 was a natural evolution of the line-up settling at a handsomely well-proportioned 39 mm with wider scalloped lugs, representing a decent step up from the 37.2 mm. of the 5140, while still utilising the work horse (at least by Patek standards) calibre 240Q which has been used for decades.
