3 years ago I bought my 5711 white out of the case and negotiated a discount of 5%. I received 10% on my 5167 out of the safe the year before. These days will return but not until the stock market halves itself again

I think you will find it is Patek stopping the 5711 not the AD, they are now asking about previous purchase history when an order for a 5711 is placed.

I think it’s AD, so easy for AD to get around the purchase history if really wanted to, they can just use someone else’s. It’s just an excuse.

I was not aware Patek asking about previous purchase history when an order is placed for a 5711. Few months back I placed an order on a 5711 white, later I was telling my AD that how much I like the new blue dial and without me even asking to be on the list my AD had put me on the list for the new 5711 blue. I now have both 5711 white and blue on order and I was never asked about previous purchase history |

Stuff AD's already have or are getting normally then maybe its different but i do think there is two different ways AD's are getting certain pieces: normal allocations for the store and watches for a specific person.

the way things are going with uncertainty, the markets are looking very shaky. thats overly optimistic IMO as nothing happening on the economic front is particularly good for business and will affect returns negatively.
The watch market is the same. It stopped these crazy increases and leveled out pretty close to when the markets got really jumpy, maybe lagging a few months but the 5711 seems stable now and not rising like it was. I think its connected and its either going up or way down depending on the market in the short term.

no win either way honestly. Thats why i disagree when people hope for a collapse in the watch market because the overall market mirrors it and thats a bigger deal than getting a watch.

SS sport watches are really the only bright spot in an otherwise pretty lousy watch market. At some point manufacturers will have to further meet the demand for the SS sport models or see their bottom lines suffer.

Said it once and will say it again: they need to discontinue the SS 5711 and focus on higher complication SS sport watches. Offer the 5711 only in PM. This watch simply skews the supply:demand equation too far to the entry level which is not a good thing.

P or G in regular production instead of SS i would like. After an initial rush you could get them at an AD at retail. Plus i quite like white PM and hopefully the 5740G was a move in that direction.

Discontinuing a watch that’s been in production for 40 years seems like a very poor decision to me. I called BS the moment TS hinted it. Low and behold he did the exact opposite and started pumping out more sports variants.

i get the sentiment as basically they are no longer watches to get people into the brand anyway and are for people with decent sized collections.
I hate the term entry level but they really are not the low price offerings if they are not available to people shopping in that segment anyway. Buy a grand comp and its easy. Those people would also buy a PM version of its all that was offered. Either way a new to Patek customer probably isnt getting a SS version and might not buy a PM one so the result is the same.

All sufficiently new technology is indistinguishable from magic they say, so you indeed do look like a miracle worker now, Tom.

Oh, absolutely. Nobody needs a Patek Philippe wrist watch. Not my quote, a guy named Stern said that.
