Alpina’s Alpiner 4 Collection: Six Affordable Swiss Sports Watches

Genie has just granted you a wish!
Hi Everyone!Just a bit of fun tonight. You just got granted a wish to own any Patek up to let's say 200k USD. What would you choose? It doesn't have to be a current model but you can only buy the 1 watch with that money(ie no combination up to that amount) I'll start off by saying 5970p.......

Can someone help with the numbers?
How many pieces do Patek Philippe make in a typical year? I've seen numbers ranging from 30,000 to 54,000. Also, is it known how many of those are base (stainless steel) sport models? Does anyone know how many 5167s they would typically produce? And 5711s?Please refer me to a prior thread if I've missed this. ThanksGregSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
