5212 Limited Edition Austria

[Ashj52]

Very cool colour!!

[John Doyle]

Much prefer the original

I hope my AD do a pink 5811 with Patek. Limit to 100 so maybe I have a higher chance. Don't mind yellow too.

My AD should have done a black 5811 with a tombstone engraved on the sapphire to mark the occasion when they got cut by Patek.

Still can't get over the "sold-out" message. Bordeaux is a beautiful colour on a dial.

Surprised they didn't use translucent hands for this update. Works so well on the new WT.

Got a friend who got one - will let you know if it one day is leaving his collection.

That's pretty wild

But out of curiosity, does anyone know what such blood red has to do with Austria? A tribute to the Mozart Kugeln?

Anyway, with colors like these, I always wonder what would be the perfect outfit to go with such an intense red.

i just heard 60K euros compared to 38 for the 5212A white dial version. ohhh c'mon ...

[ChetBaker]

60k euro retail? Is it normal for dealer-specific dial refs to be sold over RRP of the regular production model?

[Ichiran]

My red LE Aquanaut was priced higher than the normal black dial 5167A, and this is the MSRP.

It's moot anyway. All were sold and I can't get it at MSRP anymore whichever it is.

[Gamut]

It is, natural that the production cost per unit would increase dramatically if the production quantity is lowered significantly.
That's one of the logical reasons why a Patek costs more than a Rolex.

Then I hope I receive the allocation from Maik next week. There is no reason to withhold their inventory when there is a keen and committed buyer like me.
