I bought mine from a grey dealer (sealed) in May 2015 for $38k. Maybe the price has gone up, I dunno.

But once I decided to buy a 5712, I hawked over every website, grey dealer sites I knew. And finally caught one that the asking price was lower than usual and bargained down from there.

I think it's still possible, but diligence and patience is required.

wow... think it is the best price ever after the patek price drop feb 2015. Even u sell used i dun think u will lose money.. now below 40K almost impossible to get brand new.... And one thing i notice.. i dun know why the grey dealers always have local sealed set for sale and they are more ex then retail price..:(

finally gotten this watch ytd after month of contemplating
59EB9052-E386-4DD1-B4A1-ABFB0743AD45_zpsxvnxd0bt.jpg

yes i hate my 6" wirst, sort of cant live up to the watch size...

the watch was the last piece, sort of "display" set, but all the plastic wrapper still intact
the shop gave me $20 discount i bought it
then came some afterthought... having realized it is kinetic, i now fear that the capacitor might had degraded as the watch is likely to maintained at a low charged while being "display" for god knows how long...
and i will have no way of telling

Even a brand new piece will be kept in a drawer with no chance of being charged.
