I heard next month, but the specific date was not known. Sounds like it’s imminent, regardless.

I was told 3-5% increase.

You can see the price increase already reflected in the 2019 models. 5726 1a goes from chf39k to chf40.5k. 5168g from chf34k to chf35k.

Everything except Basel releases as they have the increase already built in.

My AD told me that all prices on existing stock in their showcase will increase in price on June 1st. I can see a lot of Patek collectors asking for a 4% "discount" later on this summer after the price increases.

If true, 4% price increase plus sales tax (mandatory after 4/1) would start to bite... yike!

I think 4% is quite conservative

Yes price rise must be coming.

For example of you look at the new ladies nautilus ref 7118/1R its listed at £36,460

The same model but with a diamond bezel (which is still current but released a year or two ago) reference 7118/1200R is also £36,460

So unless Patek are planning to permanently dole out diamonds as a free upgrade then I would expect the price of the 7118/1200R to rise shortly.

Woah looking through it again the 7118/1200R i reckon is going to go up by £7k or $10,000 in the UK...............thats like circa 20% !!

If you look at the steel versions of the 7118 the price of the plain bezel version (ref 7118/1A) is £19,020. And the diamond bezel version is (ref 7118/1200A) is £26,050.

So either Pateks prices in the UK on certain models are going to go up a heck of a lot or the price of the just released 7118/1R at £36,460 is wrong on their website.......I think it is the former.

Can someone post the USD or Euro prices of those 4 models in my posts above? I have a 7118/1200R on order for the missus and I think I am about to get some bad price news shortly

When people are paying 100% over list, 4% is hardly going to make a difference.
