These two watches couldn't be more different when you have them side-by-side. 5170P is the perfect dress watch, 5172G is something more at home with jeans and a t-shirt. I think both make sense in a collection, particularly if you like chronos. The only thing I'm not sure about is the stepped lugs. I love it on the 5320, but it seems to conflict with the more causal nature of the 5172. I need to see it in person.

Definitely room for both in a collection.

A special piece for sure but certainly not a one off. I know of another collector who had the same modifications done by Patek at his request. He was told it was a unique piece and Patek asked him not to post it on social media. The irony is both obtained the watches from the same AD.

Interesting to see a non-diamond 5170P. However, having own it for a while, I prefer it with diamonds

Looks really sharp with the batons. I’d buy one if I had the chance.

Do you diamond converts (myself included) also now appreciate the 116506 platona and maybe even prefer it over the brown sub rings. I’m now leaning that way. Diamonds are contagious lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

The shipments all start trickling in May. There wasn't shipments leading into their fiscal year end close and then bassel. So they are now coming... you should call and ask...if u miss it probably take another bunch of months. They already know which watches they should be getting roughly. Most patek dealers are running very light on inventory. Probably 40-50% below average inventory. Heard this from a bunch of people so not just 1 AD. |

Ben - I know we traded PMs on this subject and you ended up pulling the trigger.
So did I. Same as you I am not looking for an "investment grade watch" but something that tugs at my heart strings and I won't take a bath on financially. Just put it on a maroon strap. Photos to follow! |
