5170p - incoming
Many thanks to those who offered their thoughts and advice as I contemplated this purchase.
I find this watch to be absolutely stunning. I always hoped for a blue dial, platinum 5170. Patek delivered at the 2017 Basel, but with a little curve ball. The dial (blue to black from inside out) is one like I’ve never seen. And the diamonds are not normally my cup of tea, but they truly are subtle and make the watch both dressy and fun. Here are a few initial pics, more to follow.   *The plastic will be removed once I get home.

Damn, that's a beauty. Did that video review put you over the edge?

A little swag, too.
  (And a scarf for my better half).

Thanks very much, guys! Here are a few more pics (with the plastic off this time). Tough lighting but better than the earlier ones. I really like the size of this watch and the simplicity of the case.

Thanks again, Jorge! Your 5170 is stunning. I love the Pulsation Scale and the Breguet numerals. And of course, your 5164R is like a big pot of chocolate fondue! Delicious!
