Do you ever see the white 5711 tanking? I do not. SS most likely topped already, but it may re-visit that top this year or next given the special supply interruptions. But it is a safe bet if you were lucky to have one at retail. Selling below retail, used, not likely.

The 5100 was a limited edition and it still tanked after being the hottest thing around for a while. Production numbers for Patek may be steady and small but demand and preferences are fickle. Doesn’t matter whatever Patek does or does not do in terms of production, in a longer perspective even set-in-stone facts such as SS sport watches being widely popular, PP’s position as the top brand in luxury watchmaking, or even mechanical watches still being a thing at all are subject to change. But hell, I’m sure a lot of us would be adamantly long-term bullish on complicated pocket watches if this was 1920 instead of 2020.
