a 5165 or some ilk, where the dual-time control is on the crown, as was the case with the 5269/200R-001, which Patek just retired.

Patek will move all nautilus and aquanauts to precious metals and introduce a new steel line of watches with higher price points
I know they like to make 💰

If the 5164 is a money maker, they’ll discontinue it and one day make the 5164 v2 and call it the 5264. When 5711 was discontinued it was the most obvious thing in the world that a 5811 was coming down the pike. Panerai showed everyone the way how to make...

Steam seems to be coming off .. sales have slowed down as per salon and lesser enquiries on the steel sports as people have given up .
Very interesting thoughts... and I agree overall

Difficult to predict anything. I see the transition from steel Aquanauts and Nautiluses to precious metals as a way to increase the retail price quickly, in order for Patek to take advantage of the premiums that the secondary market has made visible. In a...
