So that implies that the 5170J is the first true in house Chrono from Patek and so it will be forever in time.

First inhouse manual wind chrono, but pre dated by inhouse automatic chrono.

Interestingly Patek released the ladies chrono, Ref 7071 before they released the men's 5170 using the same in-house manual chrono movement.

Yes however who can say what it will mean in the future?
It is a good looking watch yet was not A great seller....like Newmans Daytona.

The dials of the J and the white dial G have strong ties to the vintage pieces.

The black dial G and the R versions have somewhat blazed their own path.
As I mention up above the cream dial R really looked fantastic in person.

We finally have seen the P and it is a bit of a departure from what we were expecting.

If an A is made I would absolutely like one ... I would say an A would kick the cr@p out of the J regardless of it being first


Most of the time the best answer is buy it because you like it and want to wear it.
