Patek Shipments

[justinppcollector]

How often do Patek AD’s get shipments of new inventory? I know Rolex AD’s usually get shipments once per week (or every other week) depending on the store. What have you guys seen lately?

[GreenLantern]

That's a good question!

I think it's once a quarter? At least, I only hear about it once a quarter, but honestly I have no idea.

Curious myself.

[AlyRba]

Shipments are every month as per my previous AD.

Once a month.

Better stock now that a few ADs have been culled.

That depends, my AD is currently at half the recommended minimum stock level and can't get replenishment. They are getting orders fulfilled thankfully.

Yes I ve read somewhere luxury goods sales are surge in UK due to the fears of the very hard brexit.

I think it is more a case of slow deliveries, they aren't in this position due to increased demand.

All my Ad’s are also getting lower shipments

UK AD's are required to carry a minimum of 32 pieces in stock and on display - bigger dealers more.

I have heard the same. The independent AD I deal with also around half the minimum recommended stock level.

1 on my AD’s is running at half of the usual 70... I think the other few are running lower as well but not sure by how much

[Calatrava r]

I think they are sporadic with the timing determined mostly by what the world wide distributors receive from the factory. There is no set pattern of deliveries.

My AD gets a shipment once per month.
