Unveiled at Baselworld in 2017, the Reference 5372 represents one of the most technically accomplished and refined grand complications of the modern era. Combining a perpetual calendar with a split seconds chronograph, the model brings together two of the most revered complications in haute horlogerie within an elegant platinum case. The beautifully balanced dial architecture ensures exceptional legibility despite the complexity of its indications, while the warm salmon dial imbues the watch with a distinctive character that sets it apart from more conventional configurations. Prior to the launch of the 5372, this remarkable calibre had been seen only in the highly exclusive Reference 5951, further reinforcing the significance of the model within Patek Philippe’s contemporary production.

Adding considerably to the appeal of the present watch is its salmon dial, a configuration that has become increasingly prized among collectors in recent years. Long associated with some of Patek Philippe’s most coveted special editions and limited-production grand complications, salmon dials are admired for their warmth, rarity and ability to highlight the intricate details of a watch’s design. Their growing desirability has elevated them to near cult status within the collecting community, often commanding significant premiums whenever they appear on the market.
