5196R vs 5196J prices
The Patek MSRP of the 5196R is 22k but the MSRP of the 5196J is 20k. Does anyone know why there is a 2k difference when the only difference is rose gold vs yellow gold. Is rose gold more expensive to make?

R takes more effort to make compare to J. Just like G (white gold)

Ah so is it because J is natural gold whereas R and G have to have elements adddd to change the color? |

The only difference between yellow, rose, and white is the base metal composition - the gold is all the same. Why would adding one base metal vs another add substantially to the effort or expense? The difference in consumer price is manipulated entirely by supply/demand. |

Exactly, I had been looking at the rose gold model and jotted the price down from there, when I settled on the yellow gold I was quite surprised at the price difference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And, do not forget: the 5196R has a (very little) more complex dial structure/dial surface. It is plain white(J) vs. silver brushed (R).

Rosegold material is using more copper. the price of the ROSEGOLD precious metal is LOWER than the white/yellow gold.
The highest will be white gold by using more Palladium alloy. If whitegold using more Palladium, the color will be whiter. I doubt Patek use lots Palladium. Palladium is more expensive. |
