Explore the Patek Philippe 2020 discontinued references list, including Grande Complications, Nautilus, and Calatrava models. Gain insights from collectors on unexpected changes.

In the dynamic world of luxury watches, understanding which references are discontinued by a brand like Patek Philippe is crucial for collectors and enthusiasts. Cayenne1200's original post from 2020 provided an early look at the Patek Philippe references slated for discontinuation, sparking a lively discussion among WatchProSite members. This article synthesizes the community's initial reactions and expert insights, offering a valuable historical snapshot of Patek Philippe's collection strategy at the turn of the decade.

Key Points from the Discussion

The list of discontinued references includes several Grande Complications, such as the 5374P-001 and 5370P-001, alongside various Complications, Calatrava, Nautilus, Aquanaut, and Twenty-4 models for both men and ladies.
There was surprise that the Patek Philippe 5131P remained in the collection, as many had anticipated its discontinuation. Additionally, the entire 5960 line (excluding 5961s) was phased out, and the Calatrava line saw a slight reduction.
The continuation of the 5146 line was unexpected given the introduction of subsequent annual calendar lines like the 5396 and 5205. The discontinuation of the 6006G and 5204R was noted with sadness, while the 5131P and all 5980 varieties remaining in the catalog also caused some surprise.
The 4910 references, considered a 'bread and butter' line for Patek Philippe, were surprisingly phased out.
One collector noted their 5159J had been in production for over 10 years, highlighting the longevity of some references before discontinuation.
Speculative predictions for future Patek Philippe releases included a 39mm Hobnail bezel 5219, a 5297 as a replacement for the 5296, a 42.2mm Aquanaut steel with a black dial (5168A), a 5711/1A-012 with a gradient black-to-blue dial, and a 42.2mm Nautilus steel on steel with a blue dial (5800/1A-010).

most make perfect sense to me... initial reaction of surprise for me perhaps is that the 5146 line continues to remain as there are two subsequent annual calendar line releases (5396 and 5205) since a few years back... also a touch surprised 5131p and all 5980 varieties remain I suppose... sad to see 6006g and 5204r leave already... but very excited to see what is coming up next!

The 4910 references are one of Patek’s bread and butter references. I’m surprised they are being phased out.

...is that the 5131P remains in the collection, while it was given for safe at many levels that it was being discontinued. In this case, TS would have really (more positively than negatively) surprised many people, including my humble self! Interesting that all the 5960s (though not the 5961s) are now gone, and that the Calatrava line keeps shrinking a bit, in anticipation for Basel. Finally (for now!), looks like the ladies selection will be (mostly) focused on the beautiful Twenty-4 automatic
