Which annual calendar to go with: 5205 green dial or 5396 blue dial?

[Parapraxis]

If you're going with an annual calendar from the current catalogue, which one of these would you choose?

I'm going to approach an AD with a request for one, but can't decide which. Certain features that I like in each.

If anyone knows retail pricing, that would be helpful too.


Thanks

I much prefer the 5205 thought it is a little bigger by 1.5 mm, but feels less so just based on the shape which is more rounded. The 5205 just feels a bit more modern and interesting to me. Of course I have neither but considered both.

The 5205 is a little cheaper at $57 v 63 USD. Though you might be able to get the 5396 on the secondary market for cheaper — less likely for the 5205R.

The 5205R is one of the few perfect Pateks IMO. Needs to be seen in person

I would disregard these 2 and go with the 5235 - much more interesting as a dressy timepiece.

Both great AC watches. If you can see them in person before deciding, it would be better and a watch on your wrist looks different from online. The 5205 wears a bit larger than the 5396.

As for pricing, if you check on the Patek website from Canada, you should be able to see the current price in CAD $$$.

Website just shows "upon request" for all prices :/

5396R: $63,280

I don’t know if I’d say the current (olive green dial) is underrated haha. Trading above MSRP and pretty rare given it’s a 2022 novelty I believe

5205r green but I don't think it's underrated. It's a hot watch trading over MSRP.
