This is what resulted in the patek pricing debacle in 2015. I think they learnt their lesson, but they still have it as one of their aims to try and offer the best pricing in their home market. Many swiss products are sold cheaper abroad than at home and this is irritating more and more locals (swiss), who feel they are being taken advantage of, losing more and more sympathy and pride in their "own" companies.
So far there have not been any price adjustments yet that I am aware of.
This means that ther might now be a good opportunity to make use of some price disparity on account of exchange rates indeed.
If anybody can confirm or deny this please do so.
Kari, do you happen to have a uk price list, or has one already been published anywhere?
Thx
And btw there is a 5711 waitlist here too but it depends where and which AD you go to:
Forget the patek salon in geneva if you are not a major buyer there. Try smaller ADs and you may be pleasantly surprised. I know one in Davos whose waitlist is topping out at 1-1.5yrs for the time being.

I do have the 2015 UK price list and there is no change to 2016 except the new Baselworkd additions. There is no printed 2016 list...wonder why??? UK prices now significantly cheaper than rest of the world. In fact the drop in HK, Chinese and South Korea has been made up by at least a 15% increase in UK sales! This is not UK based buyers but those from overseas like myself! Prices going up is better than going down. Think if the guy buying a 5170 the day before prices dropped 10%!! Brace yourself... There is a UK price increase heading it's way!! I am hoping not!! I gave a few things in the shopping cart awaiting delivery and I prefer certainty in pricing! I have paid for sone and awaiting delivery but others I am open to price and currency movements!
