Sector Dial for 5296
There is indeed a rumour going around that the sector dial version of the 5296 is no longer in production. I have been told by my AD that the sector dial version of the 5296 will only be given to select stores around the world although I suspect the numbers will be limited. Having said that, I was still offered a nice discount on an existing 5296R by the same AD which is atypical for a model that is supposedly "discontinued"?
Therefore, until this is officially confirmed by Patek, I suggest that we should treat it as such and make the purchase decision accordingly.

I recently spoke to...
...a Patek NA representative, and asked that very same question. What he told me was that as far as the models go for 2008 the 5296G 001 is not a discontinued model. He mentioned that it is becoming harder to find, but that there was definitely no word fr...
Thanks; will ask my AD to put in writing...
I appreciate the feedback. Will call the big AD in Philadelphia and see if they'll respond to another request by email. It will be interesting to see how they respond... BB The Goal is Soul
Just spoke with AD...
My AD called PP, spoke with the right party, and confirmed that the 5296 is no more. My AD is the second largest PP dealer in the US, and has always given me accurate advice, and now, I have no reason to doubt. BB The Goal is Soul
