It might be easier to work backwards. What models are you considering? If you list some, it'll be easier to say which are limited, like the 5575, or to make educated guesses as to the total number produced, like the 5070p. If you want to know how many 5980r's were made, for example, nobody knows.

5980/1A would retain or gain value since it's not being produced anymore and I believe the black dial was the least produced out of the three dials. White, Blue & Black.

5070p and 3970 both discontinued, and you’d be paying over what was retail.

Depends which 5980 you are talking about. Steel discontinued, but steel/rose, rose, and rose on strap still in production.

The calatrava you are referring to may be 5522 (you won’t get one) or 5524. 5524 has a waiting list, but you can get in a year or so and at retail.

It doesn’t sound like you know what you want. Take your time and hang out here to build up some knowledge.

What do you think of the 5575? It's limited, and the price has come down a bit lately so you'd probably not lose too much on a flip.

appreciate your post ,

you are absolutely right there is alot of references from PP and i was reading alot about it in the last two weeks , and every time i want take the
decision of buying a watch i just stopped and hesitate , like i almost get lost .

i wouldn't know that 5980/a are discontinued great information .

the calatrava that you taking about as i know it called pilot , i saw it , its gorgeous , need more options .

my budget around 50 k to 55 k


thanks

It was circa £36000 at release. If you pay $100k for a 5131G with far fewer than 1300 pieces I wouldn't think the 5575 should be at that price point. You pay how much you want to get the watch. I wouldn't pay over $75k which is probably why I don't have one!!

Follow by grey/black, and blue being the longest in production.

Last time I looked in earnest, it seemed like they were going for about 75k now, down from around 100k when they were first released. It might take you a little while to find one, but could be worth it.

Also, as Karl points out, the 5131s are more limited and are going for right around 100k now, if that's in your budget. I prefer and purchased a 5131r over the 5575, 5070 and other 5131s, but it's obviously an individual choice.

I would expect the 5131's to be discontinued this year or next, given that they introduced the P last year and that seems to be Patek's practice.

okay yr budget is 55k , what kind o watch are u looking foer , sports , dress ,certain complication ?Are u allowed to wear yellow metal or just white ?

5711 5712 are all avaliable but you need to pay a bit premium however even with this extra charge are far behind you budget so i wouldn ttake those out from consideration.I like TT too a nice 5980AR or an 5167R are superb watches too .
