Patek Basel 2018 predictions
What do you expect
For me love to see both the the 5726/1A & the 5990/1A in blue dial This will make a lot of sense , at least to justify the expected 20% price increase in both the 5711 & 5712 , just my thoughts , no info |

I also think 5990A blue dial is possible. By doing that they could come up with a new price for the 5990A as well. Same could apply to the 5726A

A 5726A blue dial would make my mind explode... but am I the only one that would still like the grey more? I'm over blue dials hahaha. I'm actually looking at 5711G's on straps.... I'd love to see a full white gold nautilus... bracelet and all. Weather a 5712/1G or a 5711/1G would be so cool with the grey dial....

I'm thinking Patek will try to make the non-sports watches as attractive as possible, so nothing much on the sports if anything.

or make sports watches in white gold. They did it with the 5168G already and its the only metal for a 42mm aquanaut. full gold on bracelet 5711G, 5712G, 5726G, 5990G and replace the SS versions, but keep the same dials as the SS versions. That would pretty much kill the secondary market as who is going to pay double retail for a regular production 5711G like they do with a 5711A?

I know it won't happen but I think they could really use a new design in stainless steel at a more entry-level price point to take away some of the Nautilus frenzy and make the brand more approachable to younger collectors. While another pilot would undoubtedly be controversial, I suspect an unlimited steel version in the 30K range with a minor complication (sub seconds or date) would be a hot seller. Again, highly unlikely and I'm sure, highly controversial, if it happened.

Good chance of seeing a time only watch for the younger market. A 5522 -G like watch for about 20k
Also hope to see some more Aquanaut or Nautilus models for the younger generation at accessable price points. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Seeing how the demand for the 5522 was so price led, they really should drop prices on the dressier models, ACs and PCs and chronos, so they can really compete with the sports models. Quote:

5270J would be logical.

When I was last at the NYC boutique I was talking to someone there who also mentioned the Nautilus perpetual as a "hope" for Basel. Thought it might look like the 5726 but with indicators arranged like on last year's 5320. Would certainly be interesting.
