Here's my humble list of my favorite pieces released:

1. 5372P - I prefer the "rose gold" dial, gives it more of a vintage feel
2. 5960G - While its odd that they decided to make this in white gold, like the 5524, I like it a lot better on a strap rather than a bracelet.
3. 5168 - I'm sure this will be at the top of the list for others, but the aquanaut has never seemed very "substantial" to me, however the blue touch is nice.

Big upset - 5170P. When I first saw it looked amazing until I noticed the diamond markers, what a bummer. Sword hands, that tachy scale and sunburst dial, this could have been huge, at least for me.

I'd love to hear thoughts on favorites this year.

daytonaTBR · 23 March 2017, 01:10 AM

For me my favorite is the new wg aquanaut 5168g followed by the 5170p and then the new "sporty" perpetual 5320g. Overall a strong year for Patek imo, but I feel like there were too many blue dial releases. Obviously it works well for some, but on a lot of others it seems unimaginative and lazy.

Russell996 · 23 March 2017, 01:37 AM

My top three

1. 5131P (with a blue/black strap)
2. 5650G
3. 5170P

5650G is pretty amazing, although getting one may be as difficult as getting your hands on a 5131P. Agreed on the 5131P, don't love Patek bracelets. A nice dark strap to contrast the platinum would look great.

My top three also. I really don't like the 5372, the day and month cutouts in the sundials just look wrong to me.

I am absolutely, madly in love with the 5320 perpetual!

I like the 5320 as well, may be my 4th, only because the lugs seem overworked to me, also I don't like that the crown rests within the case step...

cervantes · 23 March 2017, 03:47 AM

I like the black dialed 5960.
And maybe the 5320 - gotta see that case and those hands.

Don't like the 5170P or much else.

mps354 · 23 March 2017, 03:55 AM

5320G is my favorite so far, but not completely enamored with it

tonoboon · 23 March 2017, 04:14 AM

5960 black dial and wg

scrappy · 23 March 2017, 04:31 AM

Thanks for this info. I am surprised Patek is not using rounded numbers for their US pricing.

Here are the top 3 that I am most interested in:

1) 5650G
2) 5131/1P
3) 5320G

kneedeep · 23 March 2017, 06:05 AM

Only the 5320G out of this PP Basel class of 2017 moves my interest meter a bit off of the 0 peg. To me, 5131P is fabulous if it came without that bracelet. I'd be curious to know how many owners would select a bracelet over a strap if 5131P were offered with those 2 options as different references to the few prospective owners.

I had thought the sheets shown at the fair were low for the US. But 5320G looks fairly good at 82K as the 5159s are in the low 90s and 240q movement watches in the high 80s. Darn I had my heart set on 74K.

I read somewhere the price will be ~£43K for the UK market. Unfortunately, I don't have the price in USD/Euro/CHF. My guess is $60K-$65K USD.
