This Patek 5396G-014 replica sets the Annual Calendar on a slate grey sunburst dial with applied Breguet numerals, inside a 38.5 mm steel case finished in a white gold look. Patek Philippe introduced this reference in 2016 as the darker alternative within the 5396 family, where the grey dial against white gold creates a monochromatic palette that leans cooler than its rose gold siblings. The twin apertures under 12 o’clock show day and month, while the moon phase and 24-hour subdial sits above the date window at 6 o’clock. At 38.5mm, this is one of the more restrained sizes in the current Complications catalog. If you are deciding between an annual and a perpetual calendar, our note on how an annual calendar differs from the 5140 perpetual covers both layouts and what the clones reproduce.

White metal and a slate grey dial create a crisp bezel-to-dial transition when viewed from arm’s length. The applied Breguet numerals catch light to mark the hours against the darker background.

Slate Grey 5396G-014 and Its Clone Movement

On the genuine, the annual calendar module tracks 30 and 31-day months without intervention, defaulting to a single correction each March; the clone keeps the displays but leaves day and month to the correctors. The movement drives four calendar displays, set through the crown and recessed correctors in the case band, keeping the setting procedure straightforward despite the complication count. On the genuine calibre, moon phase accuracy extends to one day every 122 years before a manual adjustment is needed, which is well within practical limits. For a warmer case on a different complication, compare the 5224 Travel Time with white dial in rose gold tone. Both are available within the Complications collection.

Grey Breguet Dial Against the Silver 5396s

The 5396G-014 stands apart from other 5396 variants through its metal and dial pairing. Where rose gold versions feel warm and casual-dressy, the white gold look execution reads more formal and slightly cooler on the wrist. The 38.5mm case also sits smaller than the 42mm chronograph complications, which makes it a dedicated dress piece rather than an everyday sport-adjacent reference. That sizing restraint is intentional: this is a calendar watch that disappears under a shirt cuff. This grey 5396G-014 super clone occupies the subtle end of the annual calendar spectrum, and collectors who value understatement tend to seek it out.
