A Complication That Defines the Brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Patek Philippe builds two categories of dress watches. Grand complications sit at the top, starting with perpetual calendars and going up from there. Then you have the complications line, which focuses on one or two complications done exceptionally well. The Patek Philippe Complications Annual Calendar Moon Phases 5396-1R-014<\/a> falls into that second category, and it represents what Patek does better than almost anyone else: making complex watchmaking feel effortless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5396 has become one of Patek’s most versatile references. They produce it in white gold, rose gold, yellow gold, across multiple dial colors. This particular configuration, rose gold on a rose gold bracelet with the silver opaline dial, is no longer in production. And here is where things get interesting from a value perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where This Watch Sits in the Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Patek still makes the 5396, but the current version comes on a leather strap. That leather strap version retails around $70,000 to $71,000. The rose gold bracelet version you see here? It sells for less on the secondary market, somewhere in the $50,000 range. Think about that for a second. You get significantly more gold, more material, more versatility, and you pay less. If you want the leather strap look, you can always buy a deployment buckle and strap for a few thousand dollars and swap between the two. Try going the other direction and adding a rose gold bracelet later. That will cost you real money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the complications line, and despite what some might think about Nautilus and Aquanaut being the brand’s flagships, complications represent what Patek Philippe actually sells the most of. The grand complications start at $150,000 or more. Complications offer that Patek DNA at a more accessible price point, which is why you see so many variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
