i remember when 5004r sold for 275k+ years ago and almost got one over the 3970er (was $120k w/box, original papers, etc, now you're lucky to get $85k for it).

It will be interesting to see what common release Pateks go for 10 to 20 years from now (when one also accounts for currency devaluation / inflation).
