So, I was at my local patek dealer last weekend, looking at their (beautiful) watches, when I casually asked the price of the 5711. Now, we were all aware that patek had reduced their prices around 8% in the USA, but what I found out is that they did it in Canada too (for those who aren`t aware, our dollar is depreciated vs the USD by around 20%) !
What they meant was that a 5711 was *gulp* $27000 CAD, which is around $21500 USD according to the current exchange rate. I couldn`t believe it! Granted, I can`t say I was ready to throw money on the table, but it was definitely tempting me, because it was the lowest the 5711 has been in a while. Then, she told me the price was going up to $30700 on July 1st (today) *sigh*
Anyway, just thought I would share my astonishment =p
