The 5212 is a real classic in the making. |

Wishful thinking that these prices are plummeting. Essential Watches in Beverly Hills and DavidSW as well as other reputable secondary dealers still have the watch well above $63,000. Sure, you can find, as always, some more tenuous transactions for less on forums like Chrono24. But Patek itself made it clear at Basel 2019 that stainless will remain rare in its line. The 5212 is not only unique for the brand in terms of movement, material and design, it seems something of a bridge between dress and sport with the more casual calf strap and color. With one year of production in exceedingly small numbers compared to 40 years of production for the Nautilus line, my guess is that the 5212 will remain pretty exclusive and, therefore, appreciate over time as a classic collector's piece.

People who love a watch like this root for it not against it. Then again, it seems like some folks are simply hoping for a bargain. OP, I don't think what you are sensing is hostility at your posts so much as disappointment that someone might be wishing a particular watch ill for whatever personal motivation they have - even if that motivation is they WANT it. Patek puts a lot of hard work, time, money and artistry into pieces like the 5212. Occasionally, the market recognizes a success with prices well above MSRP. Sometimes it does not. A lot of "experts" seem to believe the 5212 stands out. I happen to humbly agree. I really see it as an effort by Patek to close the current gap in popularity between sports and dress watches. a valiant effort by a company that prides itself on innovation and leading in the marketplace irrespective of the cost. But social media is a dangerous and powerful tool that can cause misinterpretation, even of a masterpiece. God forbid that Van Gogh would have gotten evaluated on a forum like this in his lifetime. Sometimes a piece of art is worth more than its original asking price...

I am afraid that George is not as solid as you think.

My guess would be about 2 years from now. If you are lucky and stay in the good graces of the AD. And yes, in the Netherlands, chances are that is going to be Schaap en Citroen.
I have NO faith in Steltman The Hague whatsoever, the majority of the staff treated me like shit., but maybe I said something wrong |

I don’t know a hell of a lot about art but the 5212 looks like some kids second grade art project. But what do I know, if you think it’s a masterpiece buy it and wear it. 53 weeks in a year? News to me.

However for some one who does not know a calendar year can have 53 weeks it could be too much to digest |
