You can also ask Jamie from Boodles if he can get the 5271P for you in a timely fashion and what he thinks of the watch knowing your existing collection. Most people will agree that Patek has over-produced the 5270G with so many different versions. We shall see if the over-production continues with the other metal colors in R, J and P. In my opinion, many people buy the pre-owned 5970 as an "investment", whereas I don't see people doing that with the 5270. So it may be different groups of people buying the 5970 vs the 5270. |

Looking at 5970, 5971, 5271and 5270 pictures again and again. Hear forums friends suggestions and my own research. My final conclusion is to go for 5270 third generation or 5271P. The reasons are price and dial layout. Thank you for all your recommendations. |

Get the special watch, the 5971p, now if you can. There are very many 5270s around. You can always get one later.

I apologize. I meant the 5271P, but it was late at night and I've never been good at math!
The analysis is the same; if you have the opportunity to get a special watch, and the 5271P is about as special as they come; move on it. The 5270g and 5270r will always be there, but it would be a shame if you found yourself unable in a year or two to get the 5271P. |

I believe my AD(Jamie) will help me to get 5271 ASAP if I decide to get it. |

Yes I also have a favourite AD from whom I buy but that doesn't mean I don't look at watches at other stores and still place the order with my AD! Anyway if you need to see the 5271P before you buy it and yet you never meet Jamie nor go into an AD this should complicate the process a bit....love to see the incoming pics it's a beautiful watch!

It sometimes depend on the salesman. Best luxury watch salesman are always the most patient. In this way, they gain long term customers. But quite a high percentage wanted a quick sale and if you don't buy a watch at first sight, they think you are wasting their time. That is not going to happen for a 50K purchase for most people including me, which is the price levels of most Pateks.

I don't expect AD has 5271P waiting for me to view when I walk in a retailer. Maybe 8/10 AD doesn't has it in stock. So, I am not going to waste my time to visit AD that I do not know. I will visit my AD when I have free time. |

Both. And this color, too. That's why this dial is so dynamic.

Excellent. It is very interesting to see how the lighting changes the blue dial color. |

None probably I am afraid although they are fabulous watches.
I have been weaning myself off Patek gradually as I have mentioned previously. I have one final one arriving on Monday but nothing else scheduled for the foreseeable future and all but one of my existing collection has been sold. |

Do we think the discontinuance of the 5270g will have any immediate impact on the pricing?
