Patek Philippe buying help/support/enabling (5167,5164,5711 and 5712)

[Skyman]

White dial 5711 relatively easy to get and does not command a premium to the same extent as the blue dialled 5711. 5712 is more difficult to get than white dialled 5711 and commands a premium.
5167 seems about the same difficulty to get as 5712.

In general terms when looking for these PP models you tend to find better availability at smaller PP dealers out of big cities.

Seems odd to me, as the white 5711 is so much nicer than the blue. IMHO. The Aquanaut is nice, but is currently getting much reduced wrist time after the 5711's arrival.
