While no on e really 'knows' anything
it is a great strategy on Patek's part--to sell the yellow (least desirable, by today's tastes) 5970 for the shortest time... thereby elevating yellow to new heights! Brilliant!
It does make perfect sense to only make the 5070P for one year.
But in other (related) news, a dealer friend of mine said the market is softening quite a bit... and Swatch has released an article predicting a slowdown in watches overall...
How this will affect Patek... no one knows. My guess is, the BIG Pateks remain un-gettable, and the medium Pateks and little Pateks (which ones are little? Not sure, but they aren't chrono-perpetuals) will probably get very get-able.
Have a nice weekend.
5970j/5070P
It is actually with some dgree of regret that I can confirm that both pieces will be made for only one year. I have just returned from a visit to Patek where this was confirmed to me. I say with regret because a lot of collectors will be dissapointed. C'e...
Wish you could be wrong, Imran
Last time I was to PP, I asked the same question to 3 different PP people, and I got 3 different answers! LOL but true! So I hope you're wrong, because in the cobntrary case, my chances to get a 5070 PP are near to 0... Best. Nicolas
You have no idea how wrong I wish I was...my dream of 5070p is also rapidly dissapearing..
Unfortunately the information can from really the one the highest source after the Msr.P & T. Stern (who were on their way back from China). I am really feeling low at this moment, whilst I can see the production constraints are true after visiting the ma...
Don't be depressive, Imran
If we can't get this PP 5070P, I may have another solution to get another appealing watch... Even if I'm a bit sad to hear that, there are so many exciting watches, to be bought much easier, and at less cost. We'll sepak about thatwhen we mmet in London, ...
Imran look in what state (of spelling) you let Nicolas with your news!
Hi Imran, I'm sad to read your news, not that I had any hope to get myself a wanted 5070P even if it was to become widely available, but that's really a beauty! I hope to visit Patek Philippe someday too, I'm sure you saw another beauty you could put your...

market softening
I agree... I know of a few collectors who have passed up current deliveries with AD.. I think this is multifactorial.. price increases twice in the US, weakening economy and outlook, inflation with food, energy, overall cost of living. Anybody else have t...

Interesting point, Jonrus >>> And what if, if this is the case, and I believe it begins to be, as everybody knows the problem of the crisis, the price increases, etc... What if for the brands? What will be thier relations with their clients? Will they tre...
