A comparable model would be a 1815 chronograph at $60000. So after you add in the PP premium, the $78000 price tag seems to be inline.

Maybe you should get the 5712 from the AD and flip it then get the 5172 with extra cash in the pocket. If you think 5172 price is high, the 5712 must feel insane.
Even if you don't feel you answered your own question llngoc has, with an additional helpful hint about how to defray the cost of a 5172.
