Patek lowered the MSRP on the new 5172 to $73,000.

Look on this forum how long it takes a TS to sell a 5170G and you’ll see that even at $50,000 used, mint, under warranty, it’s still quite high.

If you try to sell to a TS for any reason, you’ll get offers around 40-45 depending on dial color.

So if you pay $65,000 plus tax and you trade or sell later for any reason, expect at least a 20,000 loss.

Which dial is slower to move? I like the black one, but if it's anything like my Lange legibility is very very poor.

Are they AR coated on any side? My Lange is pre AR, that probably doesn't help.
