Really??? At 2x msrp? Have never seen Patek raise prices to 2x, and I've been a collector for decades. Do you have any examples of when Patek raised prices to 2x their then current msrp? If that did happen, which i highly doubt, Patek really needs to up their game with 5 year warranty and a new movement with better finishing work that fills the case. We should expect more advanced materials as well to at least keep up with what other brands offer today.

Perhaps a very good questions would be:
How many posting here paid over MSRP so have a financial interest in current grey pricing?
i paid $17k, and that's about what a 5167 is worth, maybe $20k max.

What did you guys pay?
