Bruno,
It is obviously too expensive, like all watches now, since they became luxury pieces and are no longer timespieces!
You're surprised that all brands seem to have increased their prices in the last years, and not just Patek Philippe? More than half of the increase of the last three years is the consequence of the low value of the Euro and USD versus Swiss Francs. That's not that much the Swiss watches that have increased their prices, that's our currencies that lost their value! All Swiss watchmakers sell their watches in Swiss Francs, 100%. That's not like Airbus for instance who sells its planes in USD.

5235 regulator ... is the price acceptable
I have a question for you. Yes, we saw some huge increases the last 5 - 6 years. Some Patek watches rose with 50 % ( 5960 is an example) But on the other hand, it was not only Patek. Rolex also + 50% in 6 years, Panerai, AP, etc. When I last saw soms Brei...
The price is acceptable taking into account it's a
Patek! However, Patek's are heavily overpriced and I'm having big problems to expand my inventory of the same. One of the topic I'm planning is to compare an Aquanaut to Aqua Lung. The watches are very similar, both are available with a rubber strap + a s...

I agree that the CHF is part of the problem
"since they became luxury pieces and are no longer timespieces!" Wasn't that always the fact ? I'm not talking about a Rolex. A Sub was indeed a lot cheaper in 1975 ( included inflation) but the real highend or luxury pieces as you want ... I remember tha...
"Exclusivity eats its own children" one could say here :-)!
Currency fluctuations is not the real reason: Patek and all other luxury item manufacturers from Switzerland simply insist on theire margin/profit. The Pound Sterling has lost up to 25% in 2008 against the Euro, but German cars did cost the same. No, no. ...
agree with you, compared to other Patek, its under priced
considered also the number of new stuff in it, tech wise, i thought it would be much more expensive. Maybe they are trying to give it a push as its the 1st regulator
Give it a push ??...
I don't think that's the case. It is an application piece in Australia and fairly long waiting list. RRP is AUD $ 56,300, approximately 47,000 euros. Cheers,dreamer
maybe you are bit too far...
... jst kidding. Application piece, i guess its really market trick for such a piece. Over here its not, but the watch is being delayed, and there's demand on it, but they dont know about the success it will have until its revealed
I remember when the 5035 was introduced and I felt
the same, I was fully prepared for the price to be $22,000+ but was introduced at $15,500 if I'm not mistaken. I really felt its price represented true value given what it does. I believe we have been conditioned to the higher prices and should be prepare...
