Hi Nicolas, to me clearly a
"TIE" between 5070 and 5172 because
- subdials in 5070 is balanced with the middle aligned with the 3 to 9 horizon
- 5172 has beautiful syringe hands and whole numerals vs 4 partially cut numerals in 5070

Patek Philippe modern Chronographs: 5070P, 5170P and 5172G.
From left to right: A favorite? For me, clearly the 5070P, here. Best, Nicolas ...
5070 for me too.
Perfectly centered sub registers on the dial is the main reason for me.
If you were lucky enough to own, any of these, you are already winning.
If you get to choose, it’s a different level altogether. For me, I love the syringe hands.
5070
has by far the most character of the bunch. The 5170 has the most classic proportions, but it’s almost too pretty. Think of the 5070 as Beethoven and the 5170 as Mozart.
Looks like the scales around the 5070 dial help to...
...distract from the small-ish movement...

Of the 3 blue dial chronos I would go with 5070P, especially since no diamonds. A closer call for me would be 5170G silver Breguet dial and 5070G. Aesthetically these are my favorite 5070 and 5170.
Although I love Breguet numerals, my choice would be 5070G (like yours 😊).
5172 for me.
Mind boggling that the newer Patek complications are not getting the “love” - 5330, 5320, 5270… always the previous models… smh
Tats true abt the 5070s..
Wasn’t impressed with it until I tried it on the wrist.. now I think it’s perfect
For me a toss between the 5070P and the 5170P
But probably have to give it to the 5070P because of the Breguet numerals. Not a fan of the 5172's dial and hands at all btw. Cheers, Pieter
For case size (39.4mm) and thinness I'd choose the 5170P
However the others are gorgeous too! I would regard the 5170P as the dressy choice - to wear on occasions. Best, Robert
