Great choice, but I still can’t decide between salmon or navy.
To my eye, this reference stands as a most accomplished expression of the chronograph tradition, gracefully drawing upon the lineage of such emblematic models as the Patek Philippe Ref. 130, whose clarity of design established the canon; the Patek Philippe Ref. 1463, with its distinctive “Tasti Tondi” pushers and more assertive character; and, in more recent times, the Patek Philippe Ref. 5070 and Patek Philippe Ref. 5170, which so thoughtfully revived and refined the tradition of the manually wound chronograph.
Crispy and clear as gilt opaline…
Or blackened salmon 🍣 . I like how this 5172G-010 looks and wears. The number contrast really pops. Patek Philippe certainly is a master on case design and the 29-535 PS movement is a class of its own. I actually like how the pushers feel too. When compar...
How perfect is that brown gator strap, too
Is the case white gold? I would love to see a side shot of the caseband, if you are inclined to take one!
Yes it is white gold, or as the famous watch review guru likes to say “grey gold”
Your wish is my command Michael. ...
Thank you, and I can only agree on how wonderful the case design is!
Congratulations on this great acquisition!
Too kind Mach…really appreciate your AD visit reports.
My area is just too small and remote to enjoy visits like those.
It is excellent.
I can’t decide which 5172 dial color I like best. The salmon looks great on you.
It’s a good feeling to get this finally…
I have hesitation because I have the 5270G, and this Datograph already but the case/dial is what won me over. Thanks my friend.
Well done "clued-in" collector !
The salmon dial is most delicious 😋! Would you spice it up with a bright strap ? 😂
I’m not too adventurous or advanced on playing with straps…
Ordered a strap from PP and took a year 🤦🏻♂️, but maybe I should try other brands. I do agree straps can make a huge difference and good way to pretend we’re getting a new watch 😅
Oh no…these exotic colors are reserved for …
Exotic pieces and VIPs like you Gordon 👍🏻💪🏻 Regular and commoners like me do standard colors 😅
Exotic colors are for
ALL collectors who want “new” watches without having to buy them !😉 You can do it 💪
I really like the look of this one and should try it on at some point...
...it's just that there are so few watches at dealers these days...
Very true on the dealer inventory…
I’m even lazy to visit any nowadays, with the need for appointments etc.
Great choice, but I still can’t decide between salmon or navy.

That means both are winners and can’t go wrong with either 👍🏻
Thanks for the nice words about the success of this new reference. Always great to see the acknowledgment 🙏🏻
