Icon7 Things are just never Black and White....
...Specially when it comes to Patek Chronographs...or are they?

After recently picking up (unexpectedly) the 5070G which was a long time grail of sorts, I still could not get the 5170G Black dial out of my head So after some rearrangement of my small collection I ended up with this black and white combination.

I know there has been a long debates about which is better and believe me I had my opinions on the matter as well prior to buying these watches but now its not so clear. There really is something special about EACH one of these watches and I feel that one is not better than the other rather i think they compliment each other well.

Here are some unboxing pics as well as some quick and dirties. Hope you enjoy.

Very nice indeed! I would go for black but you can't go wrong with either.

Very, very nice pair. I love the updates to the 5170g black, and the 5070 is perfect in any metal.

OMG that black dial and layout is ridiculously nice. A chronograph that is soooo legible too.

Very nice and congrats.
