New Release
Centurionone's original post sparks a vibrant discussion around the reintroduction of the Patek Philippe Ref. 5370P, prompting collectors to weigh in on the aesthetic merits of its new dial. This thread offers a valuable opportunity to explore the nuances of Patek Philippe's design choices and the community's immediate reactions to significant releases. It highlights how even subtle changes in dial color can ignite passionate debate among discerning enthusiasts.
The Patek Philippe Reference 5370 is a split-seconds chronograph, a complication highly regarded in horology. It stands out in the Patek Philippe collection for its focus on a technically demanding chronograph mechanism without additional complications, presented in a classic and refined aesthetic. This reference appeals to collectors who prioritize mechanical complexity and traditional watchmaking.
The watch features a 41 mm case, available in either 18k white gold or 18k rose gold, with a polished bezel. It is equipped with the manual-winding caliber CHR 29-535 PS, a movement known for its innovative split-seconds mechanism and column-wheel control. The power reserve is approximately 65 hours. A sapphire crystal protects the dial and offers a view of the movement through the case back. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters.
This reference is notable for its enamel dial, offered in black or white, which provides a depth and finish characteristic of high-end watchmaking. The 5370 appeals to collectors seeking a pure expression of a grand complication chronograph from Patek Philippe, valuing its technical execution and understated design. It represents a significant offering within the brand's complicated watch lineup.
I'm very happy to own the black version.
I really like the piece and seriously considering getting one. I was told blue enamel dial is harder to make than the black so that could reflect the slight price increase.
It will catch the light better and provide different colour variations of the dial.
Then I would have called my AD. M.
For me the attractive part of the bk enamel is the light absorbing endless deep feeling. I believe black one give me more of it
With regards to paint and ultra high finish cars then black is the most difficult colour to do due to it's lack of forgiveness for blemishes. I assume enamel is the same?
