My first Patek Philippe Tiffany dial 5396G annual calendar

I would like to share my first pp that's the 5396G-011 white gold annual calendar with tiffany dial. I want to find a pp dress watch as most of my watches are sports model in black dials. While the calatrava is a bit too plain for me, pp chrono or perpetual calendar are over my budget.

This model tick all the boxes for me:
Classic dress watch look,
With some complication on the dial,
Tiffany stamp for its rarity,
The tiffany stamp match the white dial exceptionally.

This is a full set with all the paper works, which is important for a Tiffany dial.

This watch looks so classic, reminded me the old 3448 patek perpetual calendar. Surely that's a real gem as the white gold 3448 can cost over $600k now:

Thanks for the looking.

How difficult is it to get a Tiffany dial 5396G? I know anything Nautilus it's probably longer than most folks live expectancy but what about other models?

Other models are readily available at the Tiffany boutiques, having been to the New York location. It's just the Nautilus and Aquanauts which have crazy lists.

You pay a premium for the T stamp as they don't do any form of discounting.

You mean you pay full MSRP not extra. But from what I have seen at least in Canada you will have a difficulty getting any type of discount anyhow. Maybe tax in at best. So it’s probably better to buy a T stamped one since they seem to hold value better. Am I wrong here?

Yes, that is what I meant - but in effect, it's almost like paying a premium as the going rate at non-Tiffany ADs are that there is some form of discount. From reading these boards it seems like 10% is the absolute minimum one should expect on a piece like the 5396G, and it would be a lot cheaper from a grey dealer.

Value retention is probably a bit better than the non-T stamp one, but you'll take a bath on either if you pay full MSRP from what I've seen.

As an example - DavidSW has a T-stamped 5170G from Feb 2018 for $63.5K. MSRP on the 5170G is $81K. You take a huge bath since Tiffany's doesn't discount. Non T-stamp ones probably go in the low 50s to high 40s, but assuming if you got a 20% discount on the 5170G, you're still at about the same loss as the T-stamp.

Good points Tom. Thanks for the details.

It depends on the watch. I just purchased a 5524G with Tiffany dial. I was told that it was the tenth that they have received since introduction across all six locations since introduction.

They generally have a decent selection of ACs at all of the Tiffany locations with Patek.

Love it! I have 5396G-14 Tiff Stamp the grey dial and love mine. But that Tiff stamp pops on the white dial.

Thanks all!!

As some asked how long to get this watch from Tiffany. I cannot answer this question as I bought it used.

I guess should not be difficult to get the brand new 5396g from Tiffany but I wanted to know how easy as well.

I enjoy this timepiece alot with the perfect T placed on it. This can be an everyday watch. Someone said the 24 hr wheel is useless but I think it is great looking and it is a must to indicate day/night when adjusting the time/date/moonphrase.

Thanks again!

They can be had. Hit the dms if you really want it. Might take a few months but I'd think you'd get your watch.
