Hi 👋 All, My collector friend was very generous and allowed me to pull/push the
slider to “belatedly” ring in the new year ! With the time set at 12:59 and my eyes 👀 closed, I listened intently and pretended I was T Stern performing QC😜. The cathedral gong sounds so lovely 😊 and was, figuratively and literally, 🎶music to my ears 👂👂 !...
5175 perhaps?
The proportions are amazing. Despite its small size it has such a large presence. Thank you for this post and the amazing photos!!
A magnificent piece Gordon !
Please congratulate your friend , I’m sure it was an amazing experience to listen to such a beauty sing.

Since I am not close to having everything that I want, I must
dream 😴! Also dreaming is free ! 😃
I felt so fortunate to have listened to the cathedral gongs !
Not 6002R apparently :-(
What a deliciously exquisite timepiece Gordon! What a pleasure to view, handle and listen to this sublime piece.
I die for these Breguet numerals and hands set and that classy and classic dial and case. How not to approve it? Thank you for sharing your experience and big congrats to its fortunate owner!! Have a great New Year 2022! Abel
Amazing 5178G!!!
The Cathedral gongs on a Patek MR is to die for in terms of listening and enjoyment!! Can’t wait for you to post the next MR your friend is waiting on. Must be a magnificent reference as well when your friend has such great taste! Would definitely listen ...
yes, I closed my eyes to
also pretend to be the founders of PP listening to the time at night when no light was on.
I forgot to take photo of the movement because I was so engrossed with the sound and enamel dial + brequet numerals :-(
However I asked the owner for photos. Let's wait and see !
Good lord that is BEAUTIFUL. Ever since I saw this model I have been scared to purchase one as I actually think it could very well be my "PERFECT" watch !!!
If I had to nitpick I would prefer a BLACK enamel dial but everything else I would help exactly as is so for me, Patek did everything right in terms of size, dial, Breguet numerals, Breguet hands, cathedral gongs, etc... My reluctance is the fact I know i...
The 5178 is indeed great…
…heard a couple of MRs in the Salon and must say that this piece had the best sound 🎼🎶 For me it was just topped by the 5208 in whole, but this is even more unobtainable 😳. Don Justino, I think for you the 5178G would be perfect ☝️8(as the LUC Full Strike...
Thanks for the closeups
It really gives a good impression of the difference to the 5078. This is my favorite of the two (also better than the 5078 black dial). Makes me long to talk to my AD....
Stunning
This would be a fantastic watch even without the MR complication. Beautiful applied Breguet numerals, gorgeous hands, and perfect enamel dial. When you add the MR, it becomes the perfect watch.
This 5178G is a an unbelievable beautiful piece.
For me one of the most desirable Pateks that have ever been made. All the best Thomas
