Thanks for sharing these links. I will definitely check with Patek -- both the 2007 and 2012 data would be pretty much what I had *only* after excluding the 10k to 12k quartz models, which was not my recollection.

The 2016 information seems more in line, but I want to be as accurate as possible in the numbers I give (and receive!), so I'll try to verify what you sent me. In case I made a mistake (i.e., my numbers did not included quartz models while I said they did), then I apologize
Notice, however, that this hardly affects the 1M total estimate -- probably even including the quartz models -- given the limited early production and assuming the figure ("maybe 5,000 pieces/year") reported in PS's 2007 interview in reference to the year he took over, namely 1993.
But again, this is interesting in any case, so if I'm given more accurate figures (recent and total) and I'm allowed to share them, I promise I will.
Thanks again for your contribution.
