Not sure why everyone is saying that the 5196 has been discontinued. It is still on the Patek website while discontinued models, e.g., 5711, have been removed.re: the 5227 v. 6119 discussion
I'm curious to see what they will do with the 5196 replacement if the rumors of the discontinuation are true. A 6196 version would be interesting with the same sizing/movement as the 6119 but a more subtle case.
I hope that wouldn't jump the price too much, as $30K for the entry level piece is a bridge too far for me compared to the alternatives (ALS, FJP, Vacheron, etc.)
