My suggestion would be, if anyone really wants this particular reference, now may be the best time to go grey and pull that trigger. Prices are lowest they have been in a while and if this watch is discontinued they will bounce back again.
Keep in mind, this reference has had a much shorter production run than the 5711, hence will have a smaller supply in the market once its retired

Wrong... The steel 5712 will have a longer production run than 5711 as both were launched together in 2006. It is not a rare watch by Patek standards - most likely there are on the order of 10k out there (give or take a few thousand) - and I don't think discontinuation would break the underlying trend.
