I am very aware that what you are trying to emphasize is your disappointment in this year's new release of watches from patek, but in doing so, you stressed that YOUR preference should be the gauge of what is suppose to be desirable for the rest of humanity. "Nobody is wearing yellow gold" ? a hyperbolic statement you say, but in saying so, you are telling us explicitly to ride the bandwagon that yellow gold is out - that all things non-yellow gold is "in".
You have mentioned that you have seen a lot of 5170Js languishing in ADs in various Asian countries. Are you certain that the reason they have no buyers is because they are crafted in yellow gold? I dont think so. I myself have asked several ADs in and out of my country and the main reason why the 5170 is quite hard to move is because of its prohibitive price. patek has raised their prices to a level that few people can now afford. And of course Not to mention collectors comparing the price of a 5070 to a 5170.
All of these boils down to the basic virtue that all of us should exercise prudence whenever we make statements. For sure, our statements have their intended meaning, however, we should also bear in mind that our statements are open to a vast number of interpretations that goes beyond our intended meaning.
I rest my case. All the best and kind regards!
no 5170R?!
I was expecting that too
no ???
No-one wears yellow gold.....?
