Patek Philippe has expanded its extensive collection of calendar watches with the introduction of the "Inline Perpetual Calendar 5236P-001," a model that displays the day, date, and month side by side in a large window at 12 o'clock. Such a panoramic window was not entirely unprecedented in the Patek Philippe collection; the manufacture had previously produced pocket watches with inline calendars for the American market.

Inline Perpetual Calendar 5236P-001
Automatic (cal. 31-260 PS QL). 55 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve up to approximately 48 hours. Pt (diameter 41.3 mm, thickness 11.07 mm). Water resistant to 30 meters. Comes with both a sapphire crystal case back and a standard solid case back. Price: 14,949,000 yen (tax included).
Fully hand-polished platinum case

This new, highly refined caliber is housed in an elegant platinum case measuring 41.3 mm in diameter and just 11.07 mm thick. The case is fully hand-polished, with slightly angled lugs extending the line of the beveled bezel. A small diamond is set on the side of the case at 6 o'clock, identifying the platinum case. The blue dial, with a black gradient that deepens towards the periphery, is enhanced by a delicate vertical satin finish. The inline displays are clearly legible in blue against a white background. The time is displayed by slim white gold applied indexes and baton-type hour and minute hands. The design of the chemin-de-fer (rail) minute scale is also echoed on the small seconds scale at 6 o'clock, and the navy blue alligator strap with a platinum folding buckle perfectly matches the dial color.
