Not something you see every day...
Extremely thin

at under 9mm in height! The beauty of Patek Philippe!
I see it listed as 12.35mm thick...

...but it has grown on me. And it will probably be crazy valuable at auction in the future. Besides, I am a sucker for that case shape : )
Checked online prices...

The 5951P mono pusher is approx $350k resale. That is hardly the value at new! Wonder what happened? No demand thus prices on the piece are soft...
Many of the very expensive Pateks

do not appreciate in value as they had been priced steeply when new. These are watches to be kept for the next generation and are mainly sold to special clients on application only when new. The 5950 holds its value much better but the opposite has occurr...
Nearly impossible...

... to find a buyer for these. Several have been on the market for months now, far below former list price :-(
