Because US already pays a 20% premium to Switzerland. So now it is 13% vs 20% that is how and also the dollar picked up roughly half of that decline already.

I think this will hurt owners with current references that they already have a tough time selling and don't think it will improve sales for them either. For those who buy right your discount just got bigger. For those who pay retail well you know. For those who own retired references with strong demand means nothing to you! For the very hard pieces to source that Patek doesn't discount much they will still remain very hard to source pieces. So now world will have more even playing field for prices. Again buy right and buy the right pieces and life goes on!

same here just there are two more contender -the 64 and the 67 A-

dkchan88 · 10 February 2015, 09:54 PM

20% price drop in HK. I just confirmed with an AD.

Racerdj · 10 February 2015, 10:08 PM

Per Ken, 'buy right and buy the right pieces'! Subscribed and following

de66 · 10 February 2015, 10:20 PM

I have not contacted any AD directly in Hong Kong to confirm the prices. This list was given to me today with only "Valid as of 10th February, 2015" written across it and I respect my sources/contacts. Thats all i have for now, sorry
In Switzerland the 2014 price was 30000CHF. I dare say that with the 5% price drop minus 8% VAT, Switzerland is still a contender for anybody able to purchase Taxfree. The slightly biassed statement from Beyer was that the intention was that it should always be slightly more attractive to purchase PP in Switzerland.

imagereplitech · 10 February 2015, 10:34 PM

with all these prices decrease, it will make the pricing matrix go south and not inline with others brands where there are increasing their price such as AP ? It just cannot understand.

Will certainly make it less attractive for grey dealers. No margin or parallel importing benefits.

See what happens with preloved goods. There should be a few bargains coming up

Got additional HKD prices for the following
5712/1A-001 231200
5712G-001 30300
5712GR-001 314000
5712R-001 30300

5711/1A-010/011 172800
5726/1A-001 274800
5726/1A-010/001 307700
5960/1A-001 355100

Still, taking the 5167 as an example:
131800HKD = 15698CHF at rate 0.1191
Swiss list price has dropped from 16700CHF by 5%, minus 8% VAT and Swiss prices are still lower than the lowered Hong Kong prices. Of course this is not factoring any discounts

No. Since AP increase price while PP reduce, it means AP is now more prestigious than PP.

I had to check the calendar when I first read this thread - I thought it was an April Fool's Day joke.

I'll be curious when someone can confirm what the actual drop is in the US.

SMD · 10 February 2015, 11:21 PM

Any idea whether they adjusted wholesale pricing?

texex91 · 10 February 2015, 11:41 PM

For those wanting to get into Patek it's a great time.

I remember when AP did this several years ago and pissed off a bunch of RG buyers.

It's funny because if there is a price decrease people will complain, if there is a price increase people will complain. No win. My vote is price decrease.

iazrollie · 10 February 2015, 11:56 PM

This has to be a joke. I have an incoming on the fed ex truck right now.
