The best bargain now is the 5140 which can still be had in gold for under 50K. That will not last long I suspect. Still attractively priced are the 5040 and the 5039.

I don't follow the market closely, but a quick search and found this example in nice condition for just a hair over 50:

May I ask which dealer you're referring to? Price seems a little on the high end to me?
I agree the 5140 is a great reference as well, and is undervalued. I still feel the 3940 is significantly undervalued as it is IMO a very significant reference for Patek and marks both a turning point for the brand and is one of the last great Patek references. It is nearly perfect, if not perfect in its execution.
