5170 without a doubt for me. It's super elegant and pretty much perfect. Ben Clymer described it as "as good as it gets" in a hodinkee video, that sums it up well

Wazen · 3 December 2016, 06:41 PM

Forget the J, they truly sit at the AD - yellow gold just not the flavour of the month.

5170r black dial... 5370 if you are getting VAT and currency benefits, may be your only chance.

Patek chrono vs a Patek perpetual calendar - a tough choice! Have you tried them on the wrist and see which one you like better?

The perpetual calendar is more practical than a chrono. However you have to keep it in a winder or set it every time you wear it again. For the chrono, you don't have to set it every time you wear it. Some people find the perpetual dial a bit cluttered and not easily legible.

So weigh the pros/cons of both and decide which one fits better into your lifestyle. Best of luck in your selection!

Tough call, but I'd go 5170r. The manual wind is too nice and the dial on the 5327 has a little too much going on (as much as I love them, I feel like they forced the Breguet numbers in there). YMMV.

Not a fan of the 5327. Breugets dont work for me with the dial configuration and hands. I'd go 5170R, white dial is really nice.
