Do you want Patek to increase the production of Nautilus?

Do you want Patek to increase the production of Nautilus so people can buy Nautilus at the regular price from AD?

[RussW]

No, don’t increase. I also think it’s time some models were discontinued.

Don’t have but want votes yes. Have votes no.

[AK797]

Only on the ones I don't have.

So far just one guy w/o voted... Lol...

There is absolutely no reason not to want production to increase to make it more accessible unless you’re a current owner who wants to milk the value.

I am an owner that wants to milk it’s value :)


I’m not going to lie. I enjoy the ever so slight exclusivity.

[locutus49]

I do not own one but do not think any owner should cave to public pressure. Mr. Stern should make as many as he sees fit. If the whining public goes without, so be it. They can always buy grey if they want one so bad.

It depends if the value and status of the Patek brand long term is important to you.

The irony is that if hot brands increased production of hot watches, they would become readily available and then the cool kids would no longer want them. And the masses would follow suit.

I think yellow gold and blue dial would be nice :)

Exactly, it’s just good business. It’s not like Thierry just enjoys seeing people’s anguish when they have to wait years for a 5711

Plus there’s higher margin stuff Patek makes so why increase production of the 5711?

I think there’s some folks that realize once you take away the manufactured exclusivity, what you’re left with is an entry level steel 3 hand watch.

Where’s the fun in that?

[yoast]

Panerai is a good example of what will happen if production is increased to meet demand. (plus raising prices = Murder to any luxury good)

[cascavel]

No, I want Patek to discontinue the Nautilus altogether.

[GB-man]

absolutely

If we can get the prices of nautilus and steel Rolex back to msrp we can all enjoy releases again and this will get back to being a hobby for watch geeks.

I was perfectly fine losing 10-20% on my watch purchases.

You may have the connections to get all the new releases anyways but that just means you spent more than grey buying up dogs.

There’s something oddly comforting to me owning harder to get models. Believe it or not it’s NOT the status or exclusivity. I suppose it’s the comfort in knowing that the values are relatively safe. I posted this in another thread recently and was met with backlash from folks who think that a true WIS should not care about depreciation. I couldn’t disagree more. Sure on a piece or two no big deal. But when you’re talking a substantial asset it’s much easier to stomach knowing your asset is stable, if not appreciating. That’s just smart to me.

[Mr Naultilus]

I'm not fussed , I think the 5711a feels tinny on the wrist, so wouldn't buy it anyways

Yes make more, but only if Patek first get service times down to 3 to 4 weeks first for most models. Perhaps first stop most production to get service issues fixed, then increase production and include a proper 5 year warranty.

[subtona]

Yes, by one.

This has nothing to Do with value and status of patek as a brand. Patek already has this for Value and status of Patek as a brand by having exclusive application only pieces. A stainless steel 3 had $30k watch made popular by social media influencers has nothing to do with Patek status as a brand and frankly seeing rappers with diamond studded Nautilus only hurts the image of Patek. This isn’t AP or hublot.

[wisguy]

No, because mine would be worth less!

[soundserious]

I want the 5711 discontinued.

[chmhill]

7711 would come out with 6mm in thickness :)

It’s the fat hands bro

[SL BRABUS]

I need a blue dial watch.....

[WatchLurv]

I voted yes because then the premium would drop and people who actually wear them would afford them. I'd be buying up all the nautis and wear them.
