I wish my dear friend could get me one in Patek NY but she told me she will only see 2 max 3 and they are already allocated to HUGE collectors who spent over 2m with them..

What was the price of the 5372P? $500K+? They are using the caliber 27-525 in this watch, instead of the 27-535, so it will probably cost collectors a bit more for this piece.

Blue Aqua looks nice, but I have a couple of blues so my WG rubber money will probably be going with a Daytona.

Put an order in for a Rolex Sky-Dweller white gold /SS with blue dial. Two time zones, annual calendar and 5 year warranty (10 years between service) all for $14,400. Great fast service dept too and quite reasonable. Good thing Rolex doesn't use those old-school pushers to change month/date; so great modern movement with excellent features and can handle 100-meter deep water too.

Looked at the new Patek collection, nothing really spoke to me as a must-have. Prices seem to be running up quite high, which is very good as now they can afford to get the service dept on track to a month to six weeks turnaround time like other brands.

5320G depending on the discount. The 5496s were a disaster for folks who paid full freight. The other perpetuals are currently very soft also. Should know the lay of the land on the reception of this watch by late summer I would guess.

I do not think one translates into the other.

Great, can buy a Casio for $90 and a heck of a lot of features.

What's the point?

We can play $$ paid for watches all day long, but why ruin this fun PP ORDER THREAD.

Enjoy the SS.

Karl,

Thanks for chiming in and never said they were rubbish. They're very nice old-school timepieces for those who enjoy a more sedentary lifestyle. Sure we can all agree they are not durable like many other brands, and perhaps that's where i made the mistake with Patek. A personal error on my part as for the price one may expected more from a luxury brand.

Am sure you'd agree, Patek desires to produce some the finest timepieces in the world and it would be prudent for the factory to back them by an industry leading warranty and reasonable service times, as one expects from a top-tier luxury brand. This is why it brings joy to know Patek is raising their prices, perhaps to help bring back timely customer support and service as they had long ago.

Am still hoping Patek can bring back the good old days to their old-school timepieces so they're around when i get into my upper age in life, yet seems to me right now Patek has an identity crisis... and appears to be getting worse. Apologies if this is not your take on Patek, yet over the decades have stuck with Patek and now it seems they're akin to a boat just moving about without a true course direction. Of course sometimes is it good to just 'throw stuff on the wall and see what sticks', though usually that's not the most efficient way to go about things.

Maybe that's the plan for Patek right now, as they seek a new identity.
