Current retail 5711 prices?
What is the retail price for the 5711 at your AD?I know they're usually not available, but i'm curious because I keep seeing pre owned ones being sold at what I believe is much higher than retail, or being sold at retail price for a pre owned one of 3+ years.Curious as to what the current retail price is.Do you think the price increase will effect Patek's pre owned market as well - not speaking strictly about the 5711 but in general..Just curious on this.Thanks guys!
