Hi all

Just wondering what would be the cheapest place to buy a brand new A.Lange or Patek. I am doing a round the world trip next year so will be visiting a few places in Europe, LA and NYC. Will visit Hong Kong or Singapore if I have to as well

Prices in Australia are pretty high, but so is the Australian Dollar so it might be worthwhile purchasing overseas. Currently:

1 AUD = 0.7558 Euro
1 AUD = 0.9957 USD
1 AUD = 7.742 HKD
1 AUD = 0.6403 GBP

Unfortunately I do not have access to Lange and Patek prices overseas, but given that the list price of a Patek 5196R in Australia is about AUD $23,500, and in Hawaii, it is USD $19,400 + 4.7% tax in Hawaii (about a total of AUD $20,400) so there is already a significant saving there.

Other countries may also offer a bigger (maybe smaller) dealer discount but may also include tax, so please let me know what these might possibly be so I can take it into account

Thanks all!
