At the risk of having rocks thrown my direction, the 5170 looks 70 years old and the movement was not made by patek. Manual wind, chrono (and time), that's it for function. Why (unless you desire precious metal) would you not rather have an automatic annual calendar chrono made by the company whose name is on the dial?

+ 1 for the AC, even if I love manual movements, having just a chrono doesn't do it for me...

PS. I have the 5960P with black dial and also thinking of adding the 5960 1A.

Amazing

Well at the same time it is a really cool chrono, and I do have a Daytona 116515 in my trio
