1985 Patek Retail Price List
My Dad passed along to me his Golden Ellipse before he passed away many years ago. What’s really cool is that he not only kept all the papers (and leather holder) but he also kept the Patek Philippe retail price list from 1985….I wish I could get in my time machine and go back and pick up a few pieces…..

Fantastic document, interesting in so many ways -- Thanks for sharing a real gem with the forum!
PS: I'm gonna send a whatsapp to my AD's grandfather with a few requests....;-)))
Looking forward to the future prices…
Wow…I see a 3800/1A was $3950 in 1986 which translates to around $11,000 in 2022 dollars…yet a Nautilus MSRP is around 3x at $30k. Which means a watch purchased now will be retailing for at least 3x in the year 2058!!
Yeah, well
You’re getting 3x the CNC machinery 3x the marketing spend 3x the IG hype (make that 3 million x) 3x the profit margin (at least) (those megayachts don’t buy themselves) 3x the wait for servicing 3x the ultrahypermegaluxury … (I suppose this goes some of ...
Great piece of history
Intersting 3800 was $3950 and 3700 was $3750 slightly different today - Julian
