Look, the 5496P is an absolute beast on paper-perpetual calendar, impeccable finishing, the kind of watch that makes you feel like you've made it-but honestly, it wears pretty formal and the asking price is tough to justify when you could grab a JLC Reverso or even save toward a proper steel sports watch. It's a showstopper for sure, just depends if that kind of complexity and formality is actually your thing day-to-day.
