I don't see $29K, eBay lowest about $45K which is similar to Chrono24.

Link ?

offrdmania · 30 March 2020, 06:25 AM

Id be curious too because I checked completed and sold auctions on eBay and there were no 5212s listed. There may have been a scam auction posted for 29K that was removed because it was too good to be true and probably from a seller with 0 feedback.

Pim · 18 April 2020, 05:46 PM

This morning I woke up to a C24 alert for a 5212A for 36K in euro. Two hours later I wanted to post the link here and it was already gone

But prices are still coming down, ladies and gentlemen prepare for landing

GreenLantern · 18 April 2020, 05:50 PM

I still find it silly that Steel instantly means prices will be jacked up.

Since when did Steel become the thing?

Steel Sports watches, I understand, somewhat. But Steel in "regular" watches... why's that a thing?

Because Patek has a very limited production of steel models which makes it rare and desirable. People want something that others do not have and not be one of the many.
Also, if you look at the value of the gold in a watch you'll see that it does not warrant the price of the watch.

I know that. :)

I meant why do we care for Steel so much.

I can't quite figure it out.

Your not alone. It's lovely in person when I tried it on, nice lugs, but the price and demand is unwarranted. Once the hype dies down shouldn't be a hard model to source at discount like many other "unique" Pateks that came before it.

Reading old threads people thought 5524 would hold. Now I'm waiting for the bottom.

Is the 5524 readily available at ADs nowadays?
There are some pretty good deals to be had on preowned models

d-dawg · 18 April 2020, 09:32 PM

I saw the 5524G a couple of times recently (pre-lockdown), so do seem to be quite available. Unfortunately too large and not my style

QLlector · 18 April 2020, 11:01 PM

Its quite odd to be honest and inelegant for a Patek, I’d expect that from AP though (Boom!)

Yes, actually tried it on right after the 5212, liked the 5524 and the useful travel time complication instead of looking through 5 hands on the 5212. It was "available" while the 5212 was "not available". 5524 has softened quite a bit and I think there is so more to go.

They are available indeed and i agree with you that they will go down a bit more. I guess they will bottom out at around 30K

It is readily available, even Watches of Switzerland got it in stock. Which AD were you asking?

Didnt ask for it, Im out of the picture on this one but remember the fuss about it when it came out. Funny how things turned out to be.

I can recall it had a big waiting list. Then again 5235G also had a big waiting list when it was first released.

APAP · 21 April 2020, 03:18 PM

I was offered a bnib 5524 for $34k from a private seller in Dubai and turned it down . The thing has crashed.

Let’s see where this one goes.

I got no skin in the game...Just giving my 2 cents

Interesting. It would appear the 5 to 10k premium is holding a year after these posts on the first page from december 2019

Such a great piece

0xalate · 11 November 2020, 07:41 AM

I heard there's still a line for the 5212, but also heard the supplies were good, so I'd imagine demand to get filled up in the coming months.

Partekular · 11 November 2020, 08:41 PM

I also fell for and was close to buying a 5212 until I saw one in the metal.

The dial is always shown larger that the others of the same size in the catalogue etc. I wondered why until I saw the dial was actually too small making the hands difficult to read IMO. I went right off it - sadly - as I had my name on three AD’s lists and was assured I would get one in January.

The other niggle I had with it was that if left to unwind it required a bit of a fiddle to get the week marker back to where it belonged - not that it would serve me any purpose as I don’t run a factory or use week numbers - but it would have annoyed me if it were wrong. Mad I know!

Week and day markers are both on a pusher, not sure it could be any easier.

He did it the hard way. Like setting the date on a 1680

You'll have to educate me on that process.

With regards to the 5212A, the quickset of the date doesn't change the day or week, so the only way to set the day and/or week without using the pushers is to actually set the time forward by 24 hours at a time - but even that wouldn't work if you were in a month without 31 days as the date would no longer be correct to the day.

My 5212 is waiting for me to pickup. I’ve ordered a Matt black alligator strap with contrasting stitching in a lightish grey colour.

If you google 5212a review video From Watchbox, there is a great review of the watch on this strap. It’s looks great!

Hi Captainbob, this is the exact strap I am after. Is there a particular code for this or is it just Patek will offer as an alternative strap for the 5212?
