No-one wears yellow gold.....?
I disagree.
I think in these "showy" and "bling" times - yellow could be the choice metal - it's a sign of the times.. Not to mention, I believe yellow gold is preferred by Patek's customers in newer markets - the Far East/India/Russia etc...
Perhaps even more importantly, the old school collectors love it - it's very traditional which fits in with a collectors mindset (and the rest of his Patek collection)!
no 5170R?!
5170G or 5170P would have been ok too..... I guess no Patek for me this year. sigh. Wake up Patek, no one wears yellow gold anymore.
I was expecting that too
Why don't Patek just do the obvious? Totally agree, no one wears yellow gold anymore. Let's wait one more year...
no ???
Nobody wears yellow gold anymore ? I have no problem with this (Patek or not)...

interesting
lots of love for yellow gold right now but when manufacturers make a model available in white/yellow/rose, yellow seems to come a distant third in terms of sales. Good point about the far east markets preference for yellow gold though.
No one wears yellow gold. - very absurd!
A very absurd remark i must say. Let us not forget that watch companies cater to a vast number of watch afficionados, and for sure there are those who prefer the classic yellow gold. Im sure that all of us understands what Taste means. All the best!
....
a hyperbolic comment for emphasis is not necessarily "absurd" if it is based in fact. I did not think you would take my comment literally as in zero people buy and wear yellow gold watches.... The fact is, for high end watches, yellow gold has been far le...

I am very aware that what you are trying to emphasize is your disappointment in this year's new release of watches from patek, but in doing so, you stressed that YOUR preference should be the gauge of what is suppose to be desirable for the rest of humani...
Well said and spoken like a gentleman....
.....and may i add that yellow gold will be with us for eternity. each timepiece has a certain quality of it's own, some lend themselves to Platinum, some to RG and MANY others to YG.
Spoken like a true professor lecturing a student ;)
Hope all is well Aron! Best, Enrique
Patek 5170 would continue to languish !
No one wants to pay an exorbitant price for a simple and useless chrono function... What is so 'Patek' about this watch I really fail to understand ... just my opinion ofcourse...
Although me and Edward didn't see eye to eye in a previous post...
... I would have to agree with him on this one, I most definitely think that an offering in either rose or white gold would be a fantastic addition to this family of watch. In my opinion, I do agree that these two metals are more appealing to me being a y...
Great to hear from you guf.
I must admit that i myself am waiting for the other variations of 5170s. I would be very happy, if the fates allow, to have all four. all the best!
Ambitious!
Well, if ever you need to sell a couple of pieces to fund those 4, you know the number to the local recycling bin if you know what I mean Cheers!
