This particular example, a Reference 5327J-001, is a recently discontinued contemporary model in yellow gold that displays its grand complication in a decidedly understated fashion - very much our jam!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHoused in a 39mm 18k yellow gold case with a signed crown, sapphire crystal, and a stepped bezel, this elegant 5327 features an ivory-toned lacquered enamel dial with applied ‘Breguet’ indices, a matching gold feuille handset, and a trio of subsidiary registers displaying day, date and month, leap year and moonphase indicator. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePowered by the self-winding Patek Philippe Calibre 240 Q movement — visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback — it comes paired to a signed brown alligator leather strap with a signed, 18K yellow gold deployant buckle. It also includes additional factory collateral including an additional solid gold caseback, corrector tool, leather folio, books, and its Certification of Origin dated 12\/2021.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWhy Patek Philippe chose to discontinue this configuration in yellow gold is beyond us! The case material and dial layout is a wonderfully traditional configuration which calls back to numerous models in their historical catalog, and the inclusion of applied Breguet indices are properly mouth-watering for any vintage enthusiast. We could see a near future in which the 5327J is a properly collectable timepiece - but regardless of future value, it is utterly beautiful!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40344124883031,"sku":"40930319","price":69850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS09289_40930319_PATEKPHILLIPE_PERPETUALCALENDAR_532J-001-6.jpg?v=1700057377","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/patek-philippe-perpetual-calendar-5327j-as09289","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
