Sorry, if I have offeneded you in any way
by asking these questions. I am just trying to see if Patek''s NEW "High End" chronograph and Perpetual Chronograph caliber's now made in house are technically as well as aesthetically comparable to other elite manufactures in the market.
I think that it would only make sense to compare them to one of the truly other "High End" chronograph and Perpetual Chronograph watch brands out there; the Lange Datograph and Datograph Perpetual which both have had instantaneous minute counters and a flyback function from the day they where released.
I would have thought that Patek with their new caliber would have done both and not only the instantaneous minute counter.
last in , but not least , 5170
picked up this afternoon , some (poor) pics greetings from France guy This message has been edited by Dje on 2011-04-24 23:05:36...
Tres heureux pour toi, l'Ami.
It is always a great moment when you're able to make a dream come true. Huge congratulations, my friend. Champagne is on YOU! Best, Nicolas. PS: First impressions, compared to the 5070?
thanks my dear Nicolas ...
two are very different , as you know and wrote successfully in a previous thread -and you were right- ,both being so far apart from each , but each other so beautiful, except movment of course , the only 5070 to be compared and makes sense , in my opinion...
Congrats on a great addition
How nice to be the "first one on the block" witha 5170j. Fantastic piece. Looks just right on your wrist. Wear it in good health.
What a beaut!
Congratulations! You picked a winner with that one. Wear it well and with pride.
Congratulations on your new addition............
It's been a long wait, but I have no doubt that it was well worth it
congratulations
classic , 2-register chronographs ... and this from the top brand I love it Saw one at my AD 1 or 2 months ago and I wish I could afford it
Congratulations
If you have the will and the time, it would be great to get your impressions on the wrist and of of the timepiece and new movement generally. Congratulations on an early acquisition of what will no doubt be a classic. All the best.
Congrats and Thank you for your comparison to the 5070...
I'm sorry to say, but the first question that seems to come to everyone's mind is "how does the 5170 compare to the 5070?" Thank you for answering that question. And many congratulations for this beautiful watch.
Congrats for this purchase Guy.
The 5170 is without any doubt powered by a superb high-end chronograph movement, you will enjoy it a lot. Congrats. Fx
congrats!
by the way, these are not "poor" pics. i prefer real life pictures of any PP watch to those provided on patek.com . why? because most "official" pics available have been computer-generated or photoshopped. to capture the soul of each individual PP, we nee...

Congratulations
Hi, Congratulations as this watch is IMO the beginning of a new legendary tale by Patek Philippe. I love it. Cheers Dje
Flyback Function?
I know Patek added the instantaneous minute counter to this new model, however does it also have the flyback function like a Lange Datograph?

No problem don't worry!
Hi, I understand your question. A flyback function can be indeed useful (in some conditions) but is still somewhat secondary to many other technical aspects. The 5960 and 5980 are flyback chronographs. This function is generally linked to sportier watches...
Worth getting?
Hi there, I was told from that my AD I could get one in few weeks. I was wondering if its worth the price. Or should I wait for the G, R or P to come out? And is it very hard to find. Thanks, Bob
Only
Only buy it if you absolutely love it... dont buy it because its rare or the first of its kind... let someone who will absolutely cherish have it... maybe the 5170G will take your breath away? cheers
WOW!! This is a great watch!!!
This is indeed a great watch! The yellow gold matches with the new calibre. The calibre is polished very nicely and with the cool yellow gold sword in hour, minutes and seconds. Thanks for your photos Monsieur. Will get this elegant watch and beautiful wa...
