Has anyone heard anything on whether this might resume production? I have an open order in with my AD and as far as they know the production is still halted indefinitely. Has anyone heard differently?

I didn't know production had been halted.

Spoke with London & Paris Salons just last week while on vacation and neither have received a piece in all of 2016. Same for the US market. When I was at HSWA in September I was told that this piece takes twice as long to produce compared to the other annual calendar offerings in their catalog. I love mine and highly recommend getting one. Happy Hunting!

I didn't hear they ceased production...have to say I LOVE MINE...it's one of my favorites in the collection.

My AD's buyer showed me an email from Patek on Sept 15. It said they had not delivered any around the world for 2016 and that when production will resume is still TBD. Damn....makes me want mine even more.

Production is normal infact it was displayed in the case by local AD price was approx $45.5k

WAK4 · 18 October 2016, 02:19 AM

I was wondering if it'd be discontinued. Seemed to be very hot, then became a dog...soon after I managed to get one and grew tired of it.

Production isn't normal it just hasn't sold at that particular location. Maybe you can PM Conant and he can purchase that one

I am not starting the rumor mill but the SA at the Paris Salon seemed to think it will be discontinued this year. Either way it is a great piece that can be worn casually or with a suit. Pics do it no justice

I hope it is discontinued!! Although that's not cool actually as more people should have the chance to enjoy this wonderful piece.

PM sent sorry for the delay due to time difference

I have heard conflicting information too. However even if it is under production, they are likely in small batch production and will be released when they are ready for distribution to the various regions and then to the ADs. They had a large distribution in 2015, but haven't heard of distribution in 2016. The one available for sale at an AD may be NOS from 2015.

I think this is not your everyday AC and a special piece for Patek and their collectors.

I was in London salon yesterday. They are still getting them, but "at a slowing pace, which suggests it may be discontinued at Basel."
