Harder to get 5711 or Daytona C?

Just as the title suggests, which do you think is harder to get?

5711 in Canada. Phoned all 4 patek AD. Several year wait list. Decided patek was not for me as a brand.

Daytona can be had this year if you know the right ADs, 5711 no one can guarantee when you can get one

Both depend how well your scratch your ADs back. Both can be had for various premiums from grey dealers immediately, and both can be had quickly or after a very long wait, depending how much your AD likes you.
So answer is: Yes.

If you guys come to London you can probably afford to pay the ten grand premium Watchfinder usually has on both of these.

5711 has been difficult to get for years! Doubt the Daytona will be able to say that after a year!

Easy always 5711. I've not tried to get a Daytona c but both previous stainless black and white dial have been in stock either one or both everytime I go to my ad in past. Usually just one in stock but it's there. Exact same for Daytona c in the next year or so.

If you're willing to pay a premium in the secondary market, both are very easy obviously.
However from the AD, the 5711 has been difficult to get for many years, I predict the Daytona C will be extremely easy to get at least in our part of the world (Middle east), in the next 6-10 months.
So 5711 would be the harder one IMO.

5711. There are fewer Patek ADs than Rolex ADs.

Agree.


Only difference for I see is You have to save twice as much money for one of them.

Harder to get full stop, or harder to get at list price?
Harder to get with a good relationship with an AD, or harder to get for a first time buyer?
Harder to get in the short term, or long term?

Ten grand on both? You're joking right? I kinda get on the 5711 even if it's a rip off, but on the Daytona? Sure like many new Rolexes they're hard to get, BLNR, and many others were hard to come by at first, but after a while they're not anymore, while the 5711 was, is and always will be hard to come by, even impossible in some parts of the world, would be amazed if a first time Patek buyer could get one from an AD in France especially but Italy as well, probably other countries also...
