My latest acquisition, the 5170R-010 in rosegold !
Dear fellow WIS, Last week, I took delivery of my new (to me) Patek 5170R-010 😎. Loving the dial and the chrono pusher actuation (though it's not quite as good as the Datograph's), and I think it nicely compliments my 5270G and OG Datograph. It features t...
Congratulations!
This is a beautiful Patek chronograph, and it sounds like you found a nice example. I’ve long wished to add a black dial 5170 to my collection, your post may inspire me to get one in the near future.
Huge congratulations 👍. It looks
GREAT on you ! How do the applied Brequet numerals look 👀 in the metal ?
I wholeheartedly agree ! For me the best looking iteration of the 5170, together with the 5170G-010 😎.
The platinum reference is very good looking too, but not a huge fan of the Roman numerals on that one (all very personal of course).
Beautifully done Pieter!
The gorgeous base caliber CH 29-535 PS is a visual feast... what are your impressions when louping the Dato in comparison with your 5170/5270 movements? Best, Robert
Thanks Robert !
I will give this a try and let you have my findings. From what I read online, the finishing on the Dato is more visually exuberant, but that does not necessarily mean that it's better of course.
The best of all other 5170's variations out there for sure..
Huge congrats, Pieter! A fantastic pick.
Congrats!

Very nice!
That's the reference I have (5170R-001) and it's so versatile in semi-formal and above.
