Patek Philippe

Tracked down a brand new 5270G-014, the discontinued blue dial with "chin" for a very good price. Considering PP are raising prices next week, any thoughts about the production number of the 014 and how well they hold their price? I ...  

the AD gives you a "good" price, that means it's not going to hold well...just look at Aquanaut 5650G or enamel World Times, 2nd hand is already 2~3x the original price, these are the ones to get. However, Patek Philippe PPC are the best so if this is you... 

And I love it. All I know is that the 'chin' was only made for a year. As to actual production, I have no clue. And the value part is individual. If you're just rushing to buy because the prices are going up, I am not sure you really want this one. I say,... 

The chin does not bother me. It actually gives the watch a unique character. As for the price, I see it differently. If the AD is giving you a very good price this gives you a margin of safety when you go to resale. However if I acquired this piece it wou... 

I recall a conversation that I had with a Patek personnel, who mentioned that it was made very few in a short time. He thought that in time, collectors might start to look for this version due to its short run.

I think it is a very interesting model, on every levels, and that you can find some versions at rather better price compared with MSRP. However, the difference with MSRP can only be determined as good or not compared to how it will evolve in the future, t... 

After careful consideration, I decided not to proceed with the 5270g-014. I may one day regret it, but the following reasons swayed me. Thank you all that contributed to the post for your help and valuable advice. 1) Production numbers of the 5270 seem to... 

This is interesting for us too, to follow the ending of the story. I think that you did well from what I read and especially the 3rd reason. You've taken your time and it is obvious that a few elements are not satisfying for you. You'll have plenty of tim... 

.....that on a purchase like that, if one finds oneself hesitating, then there is very often a really good reason for it. I suspect you made a good decision.

A fellow purist recently emailed me expressing the same dilemma he had with the 5270. Truth be told I forgot that I shared my dilemma on this forum and thought I would end the journey on a positive note. As you can see from past posts, I struggled with my... 

The 5270 is a great watch that wears very comfortably. Great design with all the dial versions. Enjoy your new piece!

I think this one is a winner you wait and see 🎅🎅🎅

The 5270 looks great on your wrist. The chin is unique and very interesting. Glad to see you pulled the trigger. Wear it in the best of health. CB
