There can be model updates to 5711 and 5712 but no way will the two watches be discontinued. There is huge demand and they have existed for years. 5726 is a different case altogether.

The 5711 and 5712 have been around for a while, and it's probably about time for new model replacement after a 12-13 years' run. Anyway, this is just a wild guess and there is nothing concrete at this point. |

Thankfully I have zero desire for an AC Aquanaut.

5726/1A was introduced in 2012 and ADs were getting less 5726 models compared to 5711/5712. |

I am hearing that the 5968A will be discontinued. I am either getting hoodwinked or if I'm right...I got the scoop early. Has anyone ever heard of Patek retiring a model after one year of production? I realize it's just a rumor but if I don't share it....it's not a rumor :)

The rumour of the 5968 being discontinued was posted by Patekaholic but subsequently removed.
I am not convinced that Patek would discontinue it after just one year? |

That would be very odd unless they have a new chrono movement and are just tweaking it.

If Patek is sticking to no more than 20% in Sports Watches - removing 500ish units of the 5726 in bracelet form (or whatever quantity) means more 5711's/5712's/5990's that seem to be selling more. |
