Because US already pays a 20% premium to Switzerland. So now it is 13% vs 20% that is how and also the dollar picked up roughly half of that decline already.

I think this will hurt owners with current references that they already have a tough time selling and don't think it will improve sales for them either. For those who buy right your discount just got bigger. For those who pay retail well you know. For those who own retired references with strong demand means nothing to you! For the very hard pieces to source that Patek doesn't discount much they will still remain very hard to source pieces. So now world will have more even playing field for prices. Again buy right and buy the right pieces and life goes on!

I have not contacted any AD directly in Hong Kong to confirm the prices. This list was given to me today with only "Valid as of 10th February, 2015" written across it and I respect my sources/contacts. Thats all i have for now, sorry
In Switzerland the 2014 price was 30000CHF. I dare say that with the 5% price drop minus 8% VAT, Switzerland is still a contender for anybody able to purchase Taxfree. The slightly biassed statement from Beyer was that the intention was that it should always be slightly more attractive to purchase PP in Switzerland. |

with all these prices decrease, it will make the pricing matrix go south and not inline with others brands where there are increasing their price such as AP ? It just cannot understand.

Of course this is not factoring any discounts |

I had to check the calendar when I first read this thread - I thought it was an April Fool's Day joke.
I'll be curious when someone can confirm what the actual drop is in the US. |

For those wanting to get into Patek it's a great time.
I remember when AP did this several years ago and pissed off a bunch of RG buyers. It's funny because if there is a price decrease people will complain, if there is a price increase people will complain. No win. My vote is price decrease. |
