All of Patek's historical perpetual calendar chronos (PCC's) have been manual wind because of the chrono portion. The relatively steep increase in list prices over the past 10-12 years and ramping up production numbers (since Patek is making all the chrono movements in-house) are more related to the soft secondary market prices IMHO. With this knowledge, Patek has not added a huge "platinum surchage" for the 5270P and the 5170P (released last year). However 5170P prices are already quite soft on the secondary market without a huge demand. So I agree that secondary market price for the 5270P will also be quite soft.
