As for the 5170, it is a wonderful chronograph. IMO the proportions of the case diameter + thickness and the dial layout are much better than the 5070. Are you referring to the 5160, perpetual calendar with hand-engraved officer's case? Most Patek perpetual calendars in the past 30 years have been automatic wind watches, although there has been a series of PCs (3940, 5140, 5396) that use the micro-rotor 240 movement, making the case quite thin. Also the perpetual calendar chronographs (3970, 5970, 5270) are all manual wind. |

Yes second manufacture visit to Geneva. There were two of us at AP with Pateks on, my 5960 and a 5980 1R. What can I say, I sold my 15202 before I was invited. This trip I'm trying to decide, 5905P or 5524G.

100% support of anything is quite a bit.

If you are considering the 5960 and looking for a thinner case, you should definitely look at the 5270. With a manual chrono and a perpetual calendar, the 5270 is actually thinner than the 5960 with an automatic chrono and an annual calendar, by about 1mm.

They have not offered a 33mm men's watch in 15 years and never offered thin watches. Now they are expanding the 42mm size, little late to the game if it is their "new" direction.

I think an alternative phrase is complete support. Better? Thanks for the history lesson. Obviously you aren't getting the point of the thread. Its ok. |

5959R is tiny, but looks so nice in person.

Everyone has their personal preferences. I am in the minority, preferring small dress watches like my 3520D. It happens to be ultra thin too. It is elegant, in my opinion, and not too small on my 7-inch wrist. The proportions seem appropriate and I like seeing some of the watch strap on the top of my wrist, helping to frame the watch. I'd gladly wear a 5959 too; a beautiful watch, indeed. I like larger sport watches as well, but for dress, I will stay with 32-36mm watches. Personal preferences and variety make collecting and these discussions fun.
