My AD who I am friends with stated she just received all her allocations (special orders) upfront for the 2018 year. And they did not include any preordered 5711s. Deposits also had to be refunded as well. She knows I already have one and would not make sense to BS. And yes, this is in the US.

To their credit they initially quoted me 6 months for delivery and when that time passed they offered to refund the deposit but I told them to hold onto it. This time there was no choice they just told me they were sending the deposit back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I got on the waitlist for a 5711 White dial in July 2017. My AD was expecting the watch by December but it didn’t arrive. Apparently, they were allocated 1 less white dial in 2017.
They have been told their exact 2018 allocation for both white and blue dials. I am now expecting the watch in March or after and would be paying the new price. |

I’ve been waiting for a white dial 5711 and was first on the list with delivery due the next few months and just received an email that my AD director spoke to Patek today and was advised no 5711 will arrive in 2018 now and that was the case around most of the U.K. ADs.. Really gutted about that news but what to do??? At least I have the blue 5711 and 5712 Tiffany stamp to wear and enjoy...

Makes me wonder why even raise the price in the first place as the price seems to be irrelevant anyway with this strategy. |

Curved ball - maybe it’s being replaced?

my theory is maybe its an allocation piece, sort of like an application piece in execution. No regular AD stock for them to sell to whoever, but still available.
Similar to my 5524 experience. It came from Patek with my name on the papers already for me, not into my AD's general stock to sell to whoever. I could see this. replaced is entirely possible too. |

I left a deposit with an AD last spring for a 5711 blue. At the time, I was apparently way up on the list with expected delivery end of 2017. That obviously didn’t happen. I asked the sales rep for an update yesterday. They haven’t received any this year yet. There is supposedly one person ahead of me. She had no information about allocations for 2018, etc. I feel like they are pulling my chain...

Congrats on beating the deadline! I'm surprised that the shipments across ADs are so variable given how pieces are specifically selected for each. Again, maybe something new to me coming to this brand. I checked in with my AD and they have only received two watches this year thus far (and didn't really receive any at end of last year) none of which were one of the sought after pieces so its been hard on them as well to attract customers. There are actually physical stores of grey dealers with new and used Patek pieces nearby which also causes some pressure on them with a thin selection.

Thank you very much, this clarifies a lot. I ordered less than a month ago aquanaut 5167/1. I was told that delivery will be for one year! But Yesterday came the answer from the boutique that the wristwatch can be taken away. It is the leading boutique in Geneva.

Delivery times for 5711
I am currently the proud owner of a 5146G. I bought new from an AD a few years ago. At the time, I also had a deposit down on a 5711. In the end, I asked for my deposit back a few months later. Something I regret every day! Now, I can’t get any AD to even accept a deposit. Seems like the 5711 is now out of reach pretty much . To make matters worse, just saw a preowned blue dialed one for sale for 50k at my AD. That’s craziness!

To fuel some of the discussion here and another one of the threads, I think it's also interesting to see the supply and fulfillment or orders. I visited my ad to see if any luck for my watch to be delivered before the price increase. Unfortunately, doesn't appear to be the case but I did learn that there were given an inventory for this and other selected highly sought after models. So only one white and blue for the whole year. In the past, they would expect a couple but not be told exactly the annual quota upfront so that's new. Wonder what this means for Basel 2018 and concerning that the supply is even more constrained given the price increase and current market. Again, something I'm learning as being completely new to this brand.

It does seem that at least 5711 allocation is being decreased this year. My AD supposedly gets 6 5711s, 3 blue and 3 white dials, in a year. This year they will be getting 4, 2 blue and 2 white dials. Same may be the case with 5712, although I have no numbers to support it.
I thought that with price increase, they will at least keep the supply constant. It seems that supply is being decreased, at least for this year. Not sure why. |

I think the 5167 is being decreased also.

If your AD submits your name to Patek and Patek thinks you are a good client then you will probably get the watch. I see it as holding supply and shifting it to specific customers rather than decreasing production. Thats my theory anyway. |

My AD told me he’s getting less.
