Some weeks ago i went there with a co worker (who has 0 history), i have bought 3 watches there ... He asked for a steel aquanaut, and we have simply been denied... They explained that for such pieces, they now require previous history of buying something else...
I have also asked one for me and i was answered some years but less than the official 8/ 9 years smile

October 1st new list prices already available on Patek's site

Dear Friends, earlier today Patek's official website has been updated to feature the new MSRPs, effective October 1st, for most of the models in the regular catalog. (For select grand complications such as minute repeaters, or for special/limited editions...  

Thanks Fab ! 5711/1A at ...

>US$33k ??!! šŸ˜³ More than 10% increase ?? Wonder if watch sites have grey dealers hiking prices.

Iā€™m sorry but I canā€™t see the price nowhere.

Iā€™m missing something? Could you tell me, the new price 5167

You need to click on "Collection" on the homepage (url links are the same), and then look up any model that you like:

The 5167A MSRP has been updated to $21,650, the 5167/1A to $24,840, and the 5167R to $40,810. Cheers ;-)

only in the US ?

can't see any price in Belgium

And our friends from France with only 1 or 2 dealers in the entire country.... are not I guess? šŸ˜‚

Never understood why a big important country like France has only 1(?) AD ( Wempe I believe) and 1 boutique at place VendƓme. Countries like Germany and the U.K. have rather close to 40 AD

Wempe is listed as a dealer on its website for Germany

Whether it can obtain any PP watches is another matter. For some brands you can find which stores carry specific models. For PP and Rolex the only option is to visit a store in your area (and presumably get on a waiting list.)

Sorry for the belated reply, I just got the Internet back since yesterday! Wempe is indeed a major name in Germany (and all over the world), with 13 Patek ADs of which 8 just in Germany...

Always had a good experience with them, even though I haven't visited all of their stores. Selection to the extent I could see is excellent, though of course the "rules" are the same as everywhere else... Interestingly, last time I dropped by (in Munich),...  

Yep, too bad. At least one AD on the CĆ“te dā€™Azur would be great for how I view things...

 
 By: FabR : October 1st, 2020-01:26
However this has traditionally been Patekā€™s strategy with France, and itā€™s probably not the best time to add ADs anywhere...Need to cross into Liguria from the coast (Sanremo and Genova only; Savona also lost its license a couple years ago)šŸ˜‰

You cannot see any price at all in Belgium from your computer? Very unusual because Belgium has two ADs..

 
 By: FabR : October 1st, 2020-01:12
Try for instance on the 5231J page here (you need to click on the arrow after the strap description to display the price): www.patek.com

nope, 2 screenshots

...  

Yep, very strange with Belgium! I see you are also connecting using a very standard server so I canā€™t imagine an issue on your end...Letā€™s see if other friends experience the same...

 
 By: FabR : October 1st, 2020-01:32
Else Iā€™d suggest you to ask Patek (or your AD), there should be no problem to set this up for Belgium as wellšŸ‘

Yes exactly the same. For business, I use a proxy.

 
 By: Tyo : October 1st, 2020-01:56
So anyway. Iā€™m on the waiting list for the 5167. When itā€™ll be delivered I should pay at most at the grey market price šŸ˜±

I understand you have asked the Paris Salon for your 5167, can I ask whatā€™s your buying history there? They will hardly be able to promise you a date anyway, but with such a popular model...

 
 By: FabR : October 1st, 2020-02:36
...the better your prior history with a specific AD (especially one that serves an entire country), the higher your chances ā€” this is just the reality. Hope youā€™ll get it in a reasonable time, but as you say, there are lots of great watches out there...I ... 

Good luck then...

I am surprised to see nearly 10% difference between price of US and HK.

 
 By: joenghenry : October 1st, 2020-00:05
I thought the list price is similar across the globe. ...  

šŸ‘Great to know itā€™s been updated. Then price raises seem to have been considerably lower for HK (the earlier price in USD was $135k)...

 
 By: FabR : October 1st, 2020-02:26
Iā€™m not familiar with how prices are decided for the HK market, but just as a guess, the more complicated political situation might have played a role in the lower price increase?šŸ˜‰Good for you in this sense if you buy local!šŸ˜€

The UK prices are update on the website

 
 By: DOCSF : October 1st, 2020-00:48
5520P is now Ā£200,370, up from Ā£173,620. That is over 15% increase
