Nice Review of the Patek "BLNR"

That may be the most attractive watch out there with diamonds to my eye.

Thanks for sharing. This article confirms my impressions of the 5170P, which is a good thing given that I've been underwhelmed by the other 5170 models. Unfortunately it's quite a bit out of my league price-wise at the moment, but I'd love to pick one up one day pre-loved...

I think it looks absolutely amazing, I'm actually on the list for it at my local AD. Not sure yet if I'd spend that much on 1 watch but I'm sure I'll know when I see it in person.

Saw it at the AD on Saturday, it’s a winner. They also had the RG black dial which also looks great.

Just tried it on during a trip to Paris. It's pretty amazing all around. The baguette diamonds are not as obtrusive in person, but still a little too much for me. If the diamond markers were gone, I would try my best to get one in the collection

In the metal, they really are subtle. And the watch really is gorgeous!
