Question about Patek
I own a 5035 so I�m part of this club but I really don�t understand the pricing behind the brand. When you see a Calatrava with only a date selling at a discount at $26,000 I have to ask why is this brand so expensive? I know the movement and case are hand made but so are many brands. The movements are special but so are many brands. So in the end it�s all about the name right? Just the name. It has absolutely nothing to do with material cost or labor. 0%. Just like vintage Rolex it all comes down to what people are willing to pay and nothing to do with the actual cost of the product. It blows my mind away. I love the brand as I do lots of brands but good grief. It really makes me feel kind of bad for company�s like JLC or VC that are every bit as meticulous and quality (some would argue more) as Patek but are in the backseat. Anyway this is not a slam on the brand as it is my favorite for sure but I have to wonder.

Keep my 114060 or swap to Datejust 41
Hi everyone,I'm the happy owner of a 114060 which I've had for just over a year (bought new from AD with all paperwork, box etc). Recently though I've been thinking about the Blue dial Datejust 41 with Jubilee bracelet (model 126334). I can't afford both, so was thinking about trading in my 114060. How much cash do you think I'd get as exchange with a AD and should I do it?Cheers,
