yah, kinda wondering since 5370P and 5172G share the same Ch29, but the level of finishing is marginal or significant?

The difference is significant, the 5370 is produced in the high grand complications department by Pateks best watch makers, it is double assembled (5170, 5172, 5270 are single assembled) and the final assembly takes 3 months - the finishing is sublime.

Fair enough, as I said I wouldn’t know.
