How is this any different from sellers asking $180K for the 5970G ?? - retail was $103,500 and production was longer ??? ( Skyline ) . 5970 is discontinued , 5070P is a newly released current production model just starting to arrive at the stores . The original purchaser hasn't even collected it from the dealer but offered it for immediate resale , thus , one suspects it was ordered solely as a profit making exercise , denying the watch to someone who could be a genuine purchaser . At least one other website would have banned this person for life for posting such an advert , and rightly so .
Yes maybe we should elect you as our giver of genuine purchasers. The price is firm. No one has a gun to your head to buy it at any price. In essence this post is inherently for the lovers, afficandos, purveyors, collectors, and students of exceptional haute horology such an extremely rare piece. Personally this is piece is worth any dowry her beloved would render. It is in my pleasure to admire and rudely offensive for you to ridicule and price jest apparently at your pleasure. Awkwardely, ive seen the other website ban posts like yours for group rip contentious and ignominious remarks. The waiting list for this piece at an AD will price this piece well above the asking. Wait in line if you appreciate the time spent or pay the Premium, take your artifact, watch the times.
" The watch will be shipped from my dealer". I am not interested, thanks. But I am interested in the name of your dealer whom will be shipping the watch to the potential buyer. I would love to have a few words with that person.
Maybe the SEC should come in and bail out the true collecters who dont get a 5070P at retail. Maybe we should ban making a profit on Pateks just like short sales in stocks. Things are worth what people will pay but just like anything it only takes 1 buyer to set the market. Plus the banter between the have nots and the seller are funny.

Take a look at the guys user ID,and check out EBay. This guy is
constantly offering for sale complicated watches he claims to
own. I wonder if he is trying to get some naive person to
wire him cash.

Thanks Eric Vonschonberg for the much to do insight (...and the added plug in..)
Simultaneously i am confident that lovers of this piece are keen on due diligence taken before any such purchase. Available as always are international references from eBay and beyond.
Maybe you'd like to raise your wager, if i have in fact sold one or more these complicated watches i so candidly claim , then you vow to buy this piece at asking?
Any witnesses? I indeed hope this is in the spirit of the community?
I honestly think much of the anger here is just misplaced jealousy. This is a very coveted piece. The perfect Patek, it has all the elements that make a Patek so desirable. I honestly think your price is fair. Perhaps even cheap. In a year or two I could see this watch selling in the 230k range, Maybe 280k. Last of the Lemanias in a Platinum case - the folks ridiculing you will wish they bought it. I would pay you 150k right now if I didn't have one coming in two weeks. Absolutely true.
