5280P costs around 850000 Sfr. and Thierry will check by himself if you are allowed to buy this watch or not. If you are a nouveau riche, then you can forget about this.
Very nice thread Benlee!! |

5208p is so difficult to find. Was put 1 year on a wait list. The price my AD quoted was 675k CHF after some discount and VAT refund. Not sure if anyone can hook me up with the piece. Looking for a brand new one only.
Interestingly, there was a Patek minute repeater event held at renowned French restaurant in Singapore last week. Not sure if anyone visited there. Basically you can do the sound testing on all minute repeaters plus a few limited edition pieces never before seen for the ladies. If you happened to be invited, u stand a chance to buy any minute repeater or split second pieces there. Price, however, was a bit high compared to Europe. |

One of these just popped up pre-owned at a local AD. Stunning piece.. stumbled upon this thread while looking for information on it. Anyone know what the original retail was on a 5216p? |

Stupid question:
Any chance that rare models like 5711, 5712 be purchased in the Geneva boutique? |

Not a stupid question at all BUT unfortunately no chance of these being readily available. Best bet as many have said is to just get on a list with an AD you trust and wait. Putting money down before always helps.

they do have all the models for display purposes there though so you can try them on and actually see one, i swear i heard that somewhere. Or was i misinformed as i haven't been to the Geneva salon before?

This is correct. But only current production models. From simple Calatrava all the way to Grand Complication ( excluding Skymoon ).

They are working models. The Sales Director at that time demonstrated their minute repeaters to me. ( video included in this thread ).
