Depends on what you paid and if you can stomach the loss or justify the extra money. Secondary mkt is betw 50-55K for white dial

Wow, does this mean the pricing on 5070p will come down a little?

No way IMO. I am not hating on the 5170 but that reference unfortunately has not performed well and if anything helped the status of the 5070P. 5170P is intriguing but do not foresee it having the collectability of the 5070

I feel Patek priced the 5170P reasonably. Production numbers will determine the future secondary market price. Some collectors will jump right in at this price and others will wait and see if Patek over-produce this watch or not.

Although the 5070P is a nice watch, I personally think it is overpriced. The 5170P is IMO a bargain relative to the secondary market price of the 5070P.

Ultimately you have to purchase a watch that will make you happy, whether you are looking for price retention/appreciation, exclusivity or the fact that you like the way the watch looks and feels on your wrist.

It may be too late to buy when you have the true answer (wait and see if Patek over-produce this watch or not).

How do you like 5170P?

I like the fact they changed a few things on the 5170P.

The luminescent hands are a nice touch, as they look fairly subtle. Although I love blue dial watches, legibility in dim lighting can be an issue. The lume hands will help legibility.

The diamond hour markers are certainly different from the Breguet numbers and for a Platinum watch, I think they are fine and set the 5170P apart from the other metals.

I have a couple of other watches that are on my radar ahead of this watch. However I do really like the 5170P. Now I need to find an AD that has one to see it in real life.

This is HOT HOT HOT 5170P

I really like this watch and the Diamond markers. I remember everyone hating on the 40th anniversary Nautilus in Platinum for the same reason. I think most of us really like it now.

If I did not have my mind set on a 5650, it may be at the top of my list.

Looks nice and good to see Patek following Rolex's lead.

This seems like an appropriate “APPRECIATION” thread for the 5170p.

Bumping with some pics from today in the California sun...

I had a persistent Rolex saleswoman who would text me pictures of the platinum Daytona after she showed the watch to me and ask me what I thought. I will say the same thing here that I texted to her then:

"I see it hasn't gotten any uglier."

It would be a great pairing with your Platona!

I should have posted pics last week instead of now!

What was the reason you passed, if you don't mind sharing?

In person the diamonds are very subtle. I hate diamonds but they work on this watch.

My first...finally joined the Patek family officially. After a lot of enabling and a lot of gawking.....opportunity came up and decided this is the first. Pictures do no justice to the watch (though very photogenic) and everything nyc2la preaches is all true. The watch is to die for in every way.

Very beautiful shot! And congrats for buying such a great piece!

Do consider a new thread for your purchase story. This watch deserves one!

Congratulations! I believe you're one of a very few whose first patek is not a natilus, in this forum.
But I can guess why. This is a very beautiful watch and what with Stephen's enabling,
one couldn't really resist.
Enjoy your wearing.

Thanks guys (especially Steve..he was instrumental in enabling and providing first hand experience with the watch before I saw it lol). Like Steve says..Insanely beautiful in all lighting..I couldn't stop staring at it at the supermarket tonight.



There's just no other sunburst that behaves this way..it fades from blue to black in multiple directions pending on angle and ever so subtly changes back and forth. Just wow.
