Offical prices for the 5726 A
Are there already retail prices known for the 5726 A ? Will it be in the range of the 5170 A of about 20k Euro or more in the range of the 5980 of 29k Euro ? Only curious about this as I want to know if it is worth the wait or if one should go for a 5170 G instead which currently sell at about 20,5k to 23,00k here in Germany for like new ones.
Thank you very much for your help

Basel 2010: Amazing Patek Philippe's new range of calendar watches!
You've already seen them all through the official pics and even some live ones so that's time to show you my own! The new range of chronographs is fantastic and we've begun to discuss them. The new range of calendars is equally amazing! Let's discuss! Pat...
Patek Philippe 5140 P and R, the understated perpetual calendars!
Let's begin with a long favourite of many and the new iterations of the classical perpetual calendar 5140, itself derived from the 3940. The Patek Philippe perpetual calendar 5140 is a classic with its thin case and very sober style. This is the understat...
I'll go first with the 5140P...
The 5140 is my favorite perpetual calendar watch. Period. However, in the past, it was only available in yellow gold and white gold. I thought that since the watch is in a high price-point and it is a "grand complication" according to Patek Philippe, I wo...
I share your sentiment
The 5140 is also my favorite perpetual. And as much as I welcome a Platinum edition, I'm not sure about the blue face. I know some people who love blue-face watches but it's not for me. That said, if that was the only 5140 available, it'd still be my favo...
My sentiments exactly..
I was on pins and needles waiting for the 5140P, as the 5140 is at the top of my "get" list and I thought platinum would be the correct metal to get it in. Granted that blue-dialed Pateks typically need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated, I was ...
5140 P
Dear Steve and other Patek lovers, I was there at Basel and spent precious time looking at the 5140 P, it looks stunning and the blue dial and strap fit very well with it. Of course, they were unable to show me the piece due to large media demand. But the...
If I could afford and had to choose just one Patek, it would be this one.
And you perfectly stated why, Dje " The thinness of this watch is really a proof of the excellence of Patek Philippe regarding the tradition of elaborating thin calibres and watches. The trend for large watches in the last years has too often made us forg...
That is my favourite PP watch, this year...
If I had to get another PP, it could be this one! The bluie dial gives a totally different look to this superb PC. In Whiyte Gold with the white dial, I found it a bit ...sad. Now with this very nice blue, the Beauty of the 5140 pops up. Superb, really su...
Il Contraire
The white face on the 5140G is classically perfect with the simple baton markers and dauphine hands. You may be mistaking sombre understatedness as sad, my friend.
Tastes...
It is a very subjective matter, and, as always, everyone has his favourite. The white dial is very elegant, sober, understated, as you said, the blue adds something very special, different to put in words, but something like " dynamism " or " youth " on a...
The blue dial ...
is very appealing and it makes the watch (somehow) more special. Anyway, it is not my favourite. Oliver
Patek Philippe 5159 R and 5160 G, the new officer's watches.
If you were wondering which is my favourite pink gold perpetual calendar, here is the answer. I was already a fan of the 5159 G. I even more appreciate the pink colour for this kind of historical model. Patek Philippe 5159 R Opening the perfectly adjusted...
I like the 5159R, I'd like to see the 5160G in person...
I very much like the new 5159R. Although I maintain, I still prefer the 5140 over the 5159 series. The 5159R fills a void that has been strongly desired by many collectors for many years. I'm sure that it will be a resounding success. The 5160G is beautif...
It's a good thing they chose to engrave the officer-watch...
It's a good thing they chose to engrave the officer watch. This watch with its hunter case is more appropriate to be engraved than any other perpetual calendar watch in the Patek Philippe collection. The engraving simply wouldn't be tolerable on the other...
Patek Philippe 5205 G, the new annual calendar with triple windows (and triple appeal).
The Patek Philippe annual calendar 5135 was recently discontinued as it seems that this very beautiful watch was too often regarded as too large. It was not the case but the lugs of great length that were sometimes problematic. The 5135 was really appeali...
Very beautiful...
Dje, which watch do you like? The 5146G Slate dial or the new 5205G? Which one would you choose and why? The 5205G is indeed a very beautiful watch, and I imagine it will become one of the most popular watches in the Patek Philippe lineup. I especially li...
Patrick, go for the 5205...
This is the nicest annual calendar in Patek's lineup. The grey and black dial is beautiful. This one's for you! Jeff.
Hard to answer
Hi, It's hard to answer your question. I'm still very much appealed by the 5146G slate dial to be honest. I prefer the triple window but I like the 5146 design a lot, the hands, the fact that they are luminous (something I really need for an everyday watc...
Thank you for your thoughts!
I'm not falling in love with the 5170J as much as you are; I still have not gotten over my "ex" the 5070P. I'm hoping to go for a 5712 Nautilus, since I'm a fan of the micro-rotored 240 caliber. The 5712 is going to make a great watch for the summer. I tr...
"It won my heart" ...
Mine too In most of the cases I am not a big fan of Dauphine hands, but there are exceptions. My father had the same thoughts when I showed him the pictures, so maybe it is a family bug Most of my watches have black dials and I think I really like this on...
Very beautiful indeed....
The colours (black and grey), size and layout are more modern than any other Annual Calendar. I also like the fact that the day, date and month windows (and fonts) are bigger than the 5396. Black or grey? Difficult to decide in this case. Goh
The 5205 is my absolute..................
Favourite of all the new releases that came from Patek this year. I cannot wait until I am able to see one on my wrist at the AD. At the moment I think that prefer the black & grey dial, but again seeing them both in the flesh will help. I like the op...
Well
Hi It is based on a classical calibre 324 (updated 315). I have no pic in fact of the back. Sorry Cheers Dje
the 5205G is a WINNER!!!
WOW I didnt realize that the case is so nice it looks absolutely superb. I love the dial with the windows. One thing I have doubts about is the frame around the central window but - perhaps its just me - I cant wait to see this watch IRL. Thank you Dje fo...
Patek Philippe 5396, the classical annual calendar.
Here is a new annual calendar we already saw at the beginning of the year. This year's show was the opportunity to see it. The new 5396 is in fact a new dial variation after the launch a few years ago of the so called sector dial version. Patek Philippe 5...
An utter classic indeed...
Why don't they make a perpetual calendar like this anymore? I very much like this watch, however, due to the hard edges on the case, this watch does look thicker in person. My favorite part about the 5396 is the dial of the watch. This watch has the most ...
Classic design.....
and beautiful but I think that I prefer the previous model.... cheers
older 5396
To be honest, I'm in love with the older version of the 5396, and the new one, to me, just lost the perfect blue railway dial on the older version.
Yes, please for me...
I love this 5396 R - it is the perfect watch for me - and the next generation ... Erich
Patek Philippe 5726 A, the first steel and Nautilus annual calendar!
Here comes my second best in this year's calendars offering. Pleasing my eyes you can understand that this watch is modern, bringing some fresh air in the annual calendar range. Patek Philippe 5726 A This watch is at the same time the first annual calenda...
Looks good, but...
Honestly, I was originally excited by the idea of an annual calendar in a Nautilus case. Today, I'm somewhat taken aback. The annual calendar is a useful mechanism that is designed for daily wear. The Nautilus to me strikes me as a very casual watch that ...
"... second best ..."
Same thoughts (more or less) here ... It is a very appealing and well balanced Nautilus, from every angle. It looks good with the leather strap, but I assume it would look irresistible with a steel ... Do we have to wait, or is it maybe retrofitable? Oliv...
On a bracelet it will be irresistable indeed
I'm not to sure how I feel about the white second hand, I don't like it on the 5135 replacement and not sure about the Nautilus Annual. Though I have one on my 5167, the white second hand seems better suited to a sporty watch than a dress watch.
i really like it!!
I really like the pictures of the watch and some of the wrist shots. granted I need to see the watch in person, and on my wrist.... haha!!
Not my cup of tea
The original Nautilus is a great design, and imho does not work as an annual cal. Too narrow between the "eyes" is the feeling I get, and the moonphase completely malplace on this dial. Love the other new models but this one is unattractive imo.
Although...
I love the Nautilus line, I am not certain about this complication in this case..... however I would like to see it in metal first.... thanks for posting this Dje (as well as the rest of the thread) Cheers
"Hopefully the bracelet option will follow"
if so it would look like this (not available - only photoshop) Any chance to try the bracelet of 5711 or 5712, if possible? Oliver...
I don't think so
Hi, In fact the case is the same width as the 5980, slightly larger than the 5711 and 5712. Cheers Dje

Meant 5712 not 5170
Don't know how to correct it, but I meant of course the 5712 A & G and not 5170 ...
I don't know exactly but
Hi, As I understood it it should be somewhere in the middle between the 5712/1A and the 5980/1A. Cheers Dje
Love the 5726
I think it looks great. is there a review on its quality and technology? thanks
I’ve been intrigued by these annual/perpetual calendars
>>> set for Saturday, March 18 th , which last year of occurrence was 2006… Any guesses?! Marcelo
I don't know...
March 18th was the start date of Basel this year, but Basel didn't start on Saturday... Patek Philippe was founded in 1851. In the year of 1851, March 18th is not a Saturday, it is a Tuesday. It was also a Saturday, March 18th in 2006. I need to get my Co...
5205 vs 5207
The 5205 is the poor mans 5207. I would be very happy to admit that I was poor with a 5205 sitting squarely on my left wrist!
