Patek Philippe

No need for any word to describe how "splendid" Patek Philippe 5170G is! ...  

If yes. Congrats and don´t mind to share your thoughts/impressions after some time of ownership :-) Oliver

the small imperfection in this Patek. Why does the 2 dial have to intercept and eat onto the outer dial. If the dial is cluttered or have insufficient space, it is comprehensible. But clearly, the 2 dials could have been shifted towards the middle and the... 

(simple; Ref. 130, 530, 533, 591, 1436 ...) vintage chronograph from PP that you think is beautiful?! Interesting. Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I do like chronographs as I fondly comment and compared the 5004 and 5204 chronograph thread started by Iceman some days back. But those 2 reference had very well spaced dials and neat organization. Those 2 chronographs had 3 dials circumscribed by an out... 

and at least the References I already mentioned. Maybe that helps to understand why it is done like this. Oliver

More a distinguishable feature. Much like the way one of the subdials on your 5055 eats into the railway track. For a "perfectionist" seems odd for you to criticize. I have always adored the 5070, but the more I see this one, the more I am leaning toward ... 

when I made the candid comment about the dials eating onto the outer dial, it was without malice. Neither do I mean to disregard the "tradition" set by Patek's history of previous references. But comments and opinions are personal and I feel the need to e... 

Aki, I have no issue with your point of view on aesthetics of a particular watch. What I thought was surprising was that Bankie posts pictures of his treasured, and I must say, perfect 5170G, and you respond with a post saying "I can't help but notice the... 

The Patek 5070 has no overlapping dials (pic by Nico): Are you referring to the Patek 5170 (image by Bankie)? Even here I would like to comment that the subdials do not overlap totally with the chronograph seconds ring. Thus I fail to understand why you c...  

because I agree with Spellbound. You joined "Bankie´s party" in a quite unpolite way, didn´t you? Would you like it that way?! Second, you mix up 5070 with 5170 and there is nothing like a black dial 5070 - platinum version comes with a blue one. Once mor... 

I handle this pc live 2x, warm the first time and really WARM the last time. I adore the dial on this watch, one of the most beautiful mordern patek dials imho. Dare i say more beautiful then the 5070 ( pls dont crucify me for this statement , and i hv a ... 

as I was the whole time typing it on my iphone sitting on a couch. The conversation was all the time on the picture posted and so I wrote the wrong reference number typing on my 4.5 inch screen. (My eyes and fingers playing tricks on me at this late hour)...

Your enthusiasum is wonderful, but pls try to consider how others feel when you post. As i mention before when i stood up for you, its about people first. If you dont understand that then i was wasting my time on you. Best Iceman

I appreciate that gesture the other time. No man is perfect. I guess I falter this time. One thing I need to learn now is how to edit a post when the fingers go faster than the mind. (that happens you know ?) Any idea ?

You wrote me some PM and it was clear to me that you are a new enthusiast. That is wonderful, but how can I explain...it is like discovering the best red wines...take your time...it needs some time and many glasses to understand what it is all about :-)

... As you are taking the shots quite well. Even though i disagree with you, i got your point. You got hit from all sides in this thread, you understand it's about the way you formed that critic. If you had warmly congratulate the new owner 1st before mak... 

Let me sincerely congratulate you for this choice ! This chrono is gorgeous. I had the opportunity to put it on my wrist (a few minutes) and it has been difficult to leave it. Concerning Aki... post, I totally disagree because the seconds ring is always c... 

I like this crispy dial a lot!

I did not expect the post to turn out like this! Anyway, i have owned both 5070 and 5170 and have to say each piece is unique in almost every aspect; and the only similarity is chronograph function (albeit Lemania vs. In-House movement). It would not be f... 

You have refined and exquisite taste Bankie. I guess, probably wrongly, that you are a banker given your chosen name ? Quite a few people here in finance, me included. Looking forward to seeing more in the future. Dean

Enjoy wearing this exclusive timepiece!
