Panerai 8-Day Power Reserve Caliber P.5000 Debuts in New Luminor Watches

Patek discounts?
Just curious as to what kind of a discount one can usually expect on a Patek? I have heard their margins are higher than Rolex, does that mean a higher discount typically? Of course, I know a few of their models are impossible to get, I'm just referring to easy to buy off the floor models.
