Are you left-handed?
If so, then maybe the 5373P could end up standing out for that reason. For myself, I would be disappointed that the 5373P appears to only be a case flipped version of the 5372P. On the 5373P the calendar adjusters are located at 6 o'clock and the hidden diamond between the lugs that indicates a platinum case is located at 12 o'clock. For such an exclusive and special piece I think it was warranted to make changes to the calendar module to maintain the diamond at 6 and the pushers at 12 as is typical for Patek. Also, while the chronograph button seems ergonomic for wearing on the left hand (triggering with a press of the thumb), I think it would be in an odd location for someone who is left-handed and wearing it on their right hand.
I do own the blue-dialed 5370P and it is my favorite watch in my collection. I can't recommend it enough if you have the opportunity to obtain one.
For comparing the two, the 5373P is smaller and slightly thinner compared to the 5370P. Whether this smaller size is good or bad will depend on you, but some will have a strong preference for choosing 38mm or 41mm over the other. Also, the 5373P is going to be much more exclusive. I have not met another person wearing a 5370P, but I have seen them in second hand shops occasionally. The only time I have seen a 5373P is during the Tokyo Grand Exhibition and I have never seen a 5372P in-person. For the 5370P, I think the dial is the star attraction and helps the model really stand out amongst Patek's lineup of high complication chronographs (5204, 5470, 5373).
The 5373's CHR 27-525 is very special and a bit of a unicorn, but the 5370's CHR 29-535 is pretty special itself. I was recently trying out the camera of my new iPhone and took this photo of the 5370's case-back:
5370p or 5373p?
Hi, Without talking about price, will you pay the premium to get the 5373p over the 5370p? The 5373p has the vintage movement, right hand configuration and monopusher. I do not know if those difference justifies the premium. This is a luxury product, i kn...
Choose which speaks to you
There's no right or wrong. Which watch is more attractive to you? I have not seen the 5373P but have the 5370P (blue). It's gorgeous.
Same…
I have seen the 5370p, it looks good. But i saw the 5373 online with a better looking movement. There is no chance of seeing the 5373p, so i gotta go with the pictures
The 5373p is super ugly to me
The 5370p on the other hand is one of the most beautiful Pateks in my opinion.
I am a movement guy.
I love the caliber inside the 5373p, but i am not in love with the dial. I love a more classic dial with the movement.
I thought it was an old movement,
I remember reading it was an old movement brought back to life again by patek. Its a 2005 movement as explained by one comment below. But it really looks nice compared to the 5370p movement
Hmm
I thought it was modern. In any case, have you considered a 5004? To me, a far superior watch both from an aesthetic and collectability perspective
Agree, but
I like buying from my AD and new. I have little trust in the grey or secondary market especially with all the stolen watches and how they handle and polish watches.
These are two completely different watches...
...and if you're spending this kind of cash, you'd better love it.
Thats the problem
I love it, but ican the love conquer the premium. Sometimes the difference is too much.
I have no personal experience here
The 5370p in black dial is one of the best looking high complication watches period- the enamel dial, Breguet numerals, in house split seconds movement. Just superb. The 5373 on the other hand is not a good looking watch IMO. I appreciate the technical pr...
The blue of the 5370
wins for me. Furthermore, 5370's Brequet numerals and less cluttered dial works for me. Go for what you really like and take our comments as other angles you should consider.
I don't see any benefit going for the 5373P
First, the 5373 movement (CHR-27-525 PS Q) is not real vintage, its just an older movement introduced in 2005. So, no reason to jump on the wagon for this aspect. The 5370 has a newer movement with improved PR. At this kind of money, go only for what you ...
Patek
When you enter this class of timepieces go big or go home. My dream would be a 5316/50P. 😀
Hahaha
If i had the means to get that watch, i would not be debating about the split chronographs.
No problem
That is my dream watch among the minute repeaters. Also the one with world time enamel dial minute repeater.

I am right handed but....
I wear my watches on my right wrist. I think i am innately left handed and also I cannot wear my watches on my left wrist. I do not feel I am wearing a watch if i put it on my left.
