1st Patek
Hi, I am looking to buy my first Patek. Nautilus 5711/1A-010. I would like my first purchase to be through an AD. I am going to Las Vegas in June. Anyone has a good connection with one of the ADs there?
I know the standard price is around $26700. What sort of discount would be considered a good one? Thanks! |

Soly,
That sure is a good choice for a first Patek, it's a very versatile and classy timepiece! I'm afraid I don't know any AD's in Las Vegas but I must say that I don't think you'll get a very good discount if you get one. As far as I know the demand on those models is pretty high and they are being sold at retail so I would doubt that an AD would have such a great deal, especially if you don't have a relationship with them. Of course, I could always be wrong (please correct me if that's the case) but I think a discount is something you'll get from a grey dealer much easier than an AD (although it seems like you would prefer to have your first purchase at the latter).

Don't think you will find Vegas dealers much inclined to give discounts.
Personally, I would (and in fact recently did) buy from a trusted dealer here on TRF. DavidSW in my case.

from what I hear discounts are hard to come by on the 5711.. A lot of AD do not have them in stock and have wait lists for them..

Thanks guys. I guess I am going the TRF trusted seller way. I just spoke with DavidSW, he is on the hunt for a BNIB for me. So excited about this!
