pfff this is the question killing me... I like the dial of 5370p with breguet numbers but in the same time I feel like I would add a little bit more and get 5204p with perpetual calendar... Can't decide...

Hamish · 12 October 2017, 06:12 AM

5370 is in my opinion a much nicer watch.
The 5204 doesn't sing to me and I think that the batons are too prominent

raclaims · 7 June 2018, 05:03 AM

Just reviving this a bit as I'm considering adding one of these to my collection.

Anyone have up to date recent insight on the watch?

I have handled it few times, the enamel dial is very beautiful. I prefer the 5370P to the 5204P. However my favourite split second chronograph is 5372P which I don't have a budget at the moment.

I have been following recent auction results and both 5370P and 5204P were going significantly below MSRP

raclaims · 30 June 2018, 03:59 AM

Well, I went ahead and placed the order...should arrive in August! Sweeeeeet.

I'll post up pix when it arrives.

Many many congrats. It is the most stunning piece I have ever tried on.

Here’s a picture I took to on my wrist to help the time pass. (plus some movement porn).

raclaims · 4 July 2018, 01:37 AM

Wow! Thx for the incredible pix...I can't wait!! My fav patek is the 5270R so I'm hoping this kicks it up a notch from that. Not to say I don't love all my pateks!

jcoltrane · 4 July 2018, 02:59 AM

I tried on a 5204P and it's too thick IMO. Looks like a Patek, operates like a Patek, but didn't feel like one on the wrist. I'd worry about the 5370P for the same reason. I have 7.75" wrists, so it's not like a couldn't get away with wearing something 14mm thick, but part of the allure of Patek to me is packing a huge punch in a compact design. The 5950R is over 3mm thinner than the 5370P, so clearly they can get it done.

raclaims · 4 July 2018, 03:57 AM

I actually prefer a heavy'ish watch so welcome a larger footprint and weight.

Im wearing a Rolex wg sub right now and love the feel of it.

On the wrist the 5370 is a perfect match of width and thickness. Then turn it over and the movement has superb 3D depth.

The weight isn’t my concern. I enjoy wearing my platinum Daytona regularly, which feels like a boat anchor on my wrist compared to my other watches, but it’s still the same thickness as the ceramic Daytona. I don’t want people to get the impression I dislike these watches, I was just surprised these masterpieces didn’t hug my wrist like the other Patek’s I own.

One of the most interesting modern Patek references. In a world less obsessed with sport watches this would be pure unobtainium. Congrats!

I keep coming back to these pix...the wait is killing me now hahaha

How does it look? 🤤

gmstevenson · 25 July 2018, 11:42 AM

Congratulations!

raclaims · 26 July 2018, 01:37 AM

It’s absolutely perfect
My favorite Patek now by a mile
It feels perfect on the wrist
It’s very classy and elegant yet complicated
If only my lousy iPhone took better pix

raclaims · 26 July 2018, 01:41 AM

Ugggg it’s saying my pix are the wrong size

Congrats! So your AD was able to get one in under a month’s time? Looking fwd to pics. I have to post all my pics via tapatalk app on my phone . I am 38 years old and thought I was somewhat technologically advanced and don’t know how to resize or format them properly when on the actual website

Chiboy · 26 July 2018, 02:08 AM

Huge congrats and looking forward to your pics. Easiest way to post pics is with Tapatalk (which I rarely use), or on a Mac to drag a pic to your desktop, open and adjust size. Kind of a PITA.

I guess your platinum Daytona is now your beater chrono!

Great to hear! I thought it was extremely special when I tried one on, too. IIRC, you wanted a 5270p. Does the addition of the 5370p change your wish list?

Congrats again and post up some pics!
