Question to the PP experts
Need your advise: my brother came across a PP5170P Black dial with the diamond stick markers at his local dealer.
He is looking for that one Patek watch in his small collection and he quite likes the design of the watch.
Now designs come and go. For downside protection - in case he changes his opinion one day - what is the forum’s view on the watch vs alternatives (eg Datograph), future desirability and collectability of this model?
PS: I know it shouldn’t be directly relevant, but shortcutting the SS Daytona queue to a few weeks also comes with potentially purchasing this watch.

I think 5170P is stunningly looking piece
in a high end price league,i doubt he really risking too much though i m not confident it sells quick for msrp in case he wants to flip it later on .btw You lose hefty sum on all ALS so the comparison you ve cited may not the best.
Similar retail prices I think for the 5170P and the Platinum Dato.
Very different watches as Sham has said. In my opinion you get a lot more with the Dato for the same money at retail price. However, to address your question, absolute dollar depreciation when buying at retail would be expected to be far higher for the Da...
