Only a few years old – https://www.chrono24.co.uk/patekphil...-id5627785.htm – but no Archives Extract available for another 12 months.
Perhaps both those are the pre-owned prices you referenced.

Prices I quoted are auction and Christies had a 5170G this week at $47k. I am definately tempted into a preowned but would prefer a better condition than (2).
