Sure Jim, there's nothing wrong with asking a question...
But I just found it unusual that, for the second time in a row, you were mentioning some Patek references as possibly being discontinued, when you knew the only possible response you'd get from us here is (once again) that those 'rumors' are not true. It might be that some AD keeps giving you this incorrect information, but I felt you should clarify, also because this could really end up raising confusion among friends that perhaps follow Patek less closely.
In any event, no problem. All references Patek will discontinue this year have been made public several weeks ago (and of course every single AD has that list). If anyone gives you different information, no matter their reason, just don't believe them ;-)
Hope this helps. Best wishes 
Rumors about the 5524G
Being discontinued floating around some European dealers, anyone have more information?
AD”s
I get my information from AD’s I talk with/buy from, not sure if you consider that reliable? If the information was specific and verifiable I would post that, since it is not just a rumor I ask for other to chime in, is there something wrong with that?......

Ok Fab199R
It looks like asking a question I don’t know the true answer to, unless you know the answer for sure, is frowned on with some members, I am trying to be informative and pass on what I hear. if you don’t have something positive to contribute when I post yo...

The list of watches been discontinued this year came out already and 5524g was not on it .It May/probably will be discontinued in the future but no one knows when .My bet 3-4 years time. Having said that they may release other variants of it though. Iqbal...
Some AD will say anything to secure a sale.
Know to filter the noise to secure the facts.
I spoke to my AD recently about the 5524 - if they’d heard it was being discontinued I’m sure they would have mentioned it.
However, Thierry likes to surprise us, so who knows. There is a list of discontinued references floating about, but are there any guarantees this is a complete list?
That rumor is alive and well!!!
Bringing out two more Pilots watches only cuts in half the total watches out there so the 5524G will not last long. And BTY how do you know orders are being moved up 6-9 months anymore than I know what is being discontinued?...Jim
Patek
This list was posted on the forum a few weeks ago which u obviously is what is been discontinued this year. Iqbal ...
Or some people that like G will continue
To buy G and those that like R buy R. The 5205G wasn't phased out for years when the R was launched...good news is i am100% certain that the 5524G will be phased out.......eventually!
5235
Just to back up why I ask about discontinued watches, the 5235 has not been available to at least three AD’s in the last year. That tells me it’s discontinued, at least for now...Not sure where the 5524 is going but I give it one more year max...Jim
5235
i know of three ADs who got their 5235 recently and are still looking for a buyer.
:-)
Hi Peter you must live far far away from the civilized world...Please disclose the AD’s to me in a PM so I can call them myself...Jim
I guess the Patek IG just proves that your AD wasn’t truthful
The 5524R is to complement the G
Wrong again
Jonrus I can’t tell if you are talking about the 5524 or the 5235 but assuming it is the 5235, with their permission I would be glad to give my AD’s names. Let’s see if Mr. Peter can back up his statement.
