Possible price increase in the US???

I know the 5711/5712 has a price increase.

I am on a waitlist for the 5167a from an AD.

Is there any good info that a price increase may be coming across the board for PP at Basel for the United States market?

in another thread it was mentioned that Patek is contractually obligated to give AD's one month notice in advance of a price increase. Obviously new models at Basel are different but for the rest, you should have notice.

In addition the Patek salon told me that their normal procedure was two price reviews a year. Prices dont always go up but, March 1 and Sept. 1 are the effective dates for their normal process when there is a change.

It sounded right, and thats what they told me... im not the authority on pricing though so i may be off.

Odd they would only raise on those two. I would think all Patek steel is fair game now.

I was told in the boutique of Geneva that the rest of the lineup will not be promoted yet. I have in reserve 5167 until March 27 at the old price

my AD feels that a 5-8% across the range is coming (likely to be announced at Basel) and then even perhaps the 5711 and 5712 will get hit again by this full range increase..

But who really knows until it happens.

Spoke to my AD today (US), said that if a price increase was coming in US, he would have been notified already.
