my advice to your friend to buy it from the greys now when the sales is slower, the chances are very good that this model will be avaliable on double MSRP at the grey morket soon. [nt]

Patek Philippe 5167A-001
Hello, One of my friends fell literally in love with this watch, he called many official AD and since he isn't a Patek Customer, I think his chance is close to nothing. The waiting list is getting really crazy about this model. He should make an important...
Congrats Tyo on your friend's career advancement, and also on his taste..
This beauty currently retails for 17,470 euros (MRSP) in Italy, which includes a 22% IVA. Good luck in seizing it, he won't regret it one second!😁
As a data point, I put an order for one at the end of March.
I’ve got a long purchase history with my AD, and there are 9 people in front of me right now. My AD says they get 3-4 per year from Patek. Perhaps some of the people in front of me will cancel, change their mind, or have already received the watch from an...
Keep the dream alive
I was looking for a different stainless steel Patek, the discontinued 5960/1A-010 and had really no luck with ADs. I was thinking the gray market was going to be my only option. And then I called one AD in my neighboring state and I got lucky that the per...
Another thing to consider is that by the time one comes in (a few years) the probability that Patek will have raised prices is also pretty high maybe even more than once.
They could do what they did with the 5711 this past year even, which was a 20% increase. I’d say if he wants one quickly and you can find a grey dealer that will sell you one at around +20% above retail, he might be smart to jump on it. I will confess I h...
You will be very lucky if you find one at the MSRP
The London Boutique has closed its list for 5167 as it has a 5 years waiting time if purchased from them. You never know though, you may find one at an AD. Good luck
Your friend will definitely like wearing and buying one 5167a.
Its the most comfortable watch in my opinion. I find myself lucky to have one. Good luck. Geross.
If he is willing to pay an extra $5,000 then he can probably find the 5167 on bracelet easier.
I called my AD and asked to be put on the list and they had an unclaimed 5167/1A. He said I could have that one.
It is easy you just order the rubber strap and the deployant which will cost $1,700. The AD will change it for you.
The only problem is that you are paying $24,000 for a $19,000 watch. Nobody wants the $3,000 bracelet.
