Why is the 5970p on the Feb 15 2011 PP price list?
I saw a copy of the Feb 15 2011 price list and the 5970p is still listed but with an 18% price increase from 2009. Wasn't this watch discontinued in 2010? I know it was on the price list for 2010 (same price as 2009) and it was explained to me that it was discontinued but appeared on the list because some deliveries were still being made into 2010.
The 5004 also appears on the latest price list. Does this mean I can get one still? ;-)

Either there are some left to be delivered....
Hi, First solution: there are some to be delivered yet, even if it's said to be impossible to order now (but who can prove that?) Or: there are many taking the dust on some Ads shelves and they have to keep it on the list price so that they now at what pr...
Or maybe just smart?
I can make an argument that Patek is cleverly using the price of the 5970P as a kind of place marker for its replacement, which Patek will introduce perhaps this year or certainly the next. Regardless of when, the price of this next wonderwatch will inevi...
Your view on this matter is very interesting
and it may very possible that you are right. Almost like giving the upcoming 5970P replacement a price increase before it's release, clever
I continue to find it surprising that
the collecting community 'believes' what Patek says... example: if Patek says the 5970P is discontinued, it must mean there are no more on earth. Patek is notorious for 'creating' rarity, through marketing. Patek equals marketing. Patek sends contradictor...
Well Patek has never said that it was discontinued!
Hi, But it is a fact that it is no longer in the 2010-2011 catalog! Maybe you can't order it anymore but they still deliver it for older orders not yet served? Cheers Dje
Sure
Hi, Sure I'm going to ask, but honestly I don't like asking such questions as those really needing to know can just call their AD and ask if they can order the watch! It reminds me of this old: "if you have to ask the price, you surely can't afford it!" A...
You misunderstood me...
I did ask my AD, but they told me that it is no longer available.... However they did not have an answer why it is stool on the price list.... I thought that maybe your contact at PP would be able to tell us why.... Just out of curiosity- 5970 is now only...
I a going to take a wild guess and state that ,,,,,,
the new list price of the discontinued 5970P is actually the list price for the 5970P replacement. NO............. PEEKING...
Lol....
Good guess... I am certain that there will be a new perpetual chrono, but I doubt it that it will be this year... Cheers
new 5970 if it comes out in 2011....
will likely come out in J if recent release patterns hold. P usually comes at the very end of a models life. This message has been edited by wilson on 2011-02-20 08:18:43
I was given the opportunity to buy the 5970P in 2010
and am so glad I did it. It was the most I ever spent on a watch and even if it was available today at the newly stated price, I doubt that I could justify to myself the amounts being currently charged by PP. Maybe that is just me and it could be short-si...
