Tell me about it. I'm in Milan, went to a Patek AD to see and get a price on the new 6006G. USD price $30,619 plus tax, Euro price without VAT 23,500 approx., CHF price without VAT 24,840 !!! And we have to ship it out of state to not pay tax. Such is life.

Lol. 5522 is a fun sporty watch and am enjoying it!

But honestly the all-in pricing disparity is amazing... literally in the US we are paying a TON more. 10-20k more one some references...

You get discounts of 20% on everything as a minimum!! 5711's actually fall out the sky and AD's actually have them lying in their safe at attains Corner!

I heard dealers even have old 5131R's lying in their safes!

Well if it makes you feel any better, we get hosed even more up in here north of the 49th. Our list price is higher than the US given the current exchange rate and in most provinces we pay 13% in taxes on top.

Oh, and the local AD refuses to give a penny off on any PP references, including ones like the 5235G, 5205G, 5396G, which while are nice, tend to get killed on the secondary market.
