Thanks for sharing...
it is great that they maintained the styling cues that have made Patek what it is today, restrained style, classic size etc. That makes it a two for two for the younger Stern for new watches released under his watch. Rare to see such a smooth transition of power from patriarch to son. This seems to be heralding a new era of Patek watches. Gauntlet has been thrown to the other pretenders in the watch business. Congratulations to the fans as their prayers seems to have been answered.
Thanks again for sharing.
BaselWorld 2010 Patek Phillippe's whole new range of chronographs
I know you've all long waited to see these pictures. The Patek Philippe 5070 has been a probable favourite for many years. Here comes the time of the new Patek Philippe 5170. The real news is that this new very classical two counter chronograph doesn't co...
wonderfull news. Thanks for sharing today.
One question regarding the 2 sub-dials of 5950A: Why are they both up to 60? my 2 favorite: 5170 even if in yellow gold as the 2 colors for hands are beautifull and 5950A as retro in design. Any idea of official prices for these pieces? Best regards, Patr...

Thank you
for sharing these wonderful pictures and all the information that goes with them. I have to say, I am very taken with the 5170. I can't wait to see it.
Thanks for the post, Jerome!
The 5170 is my favorite, closely followed by the 5950. 39mm is perfect for me. My wish has come true!
Thnk you Jerome for the news and photos...............
Sorry to be so negative. So far I have not seen anything that has got my heart racing or my credit card & wife panicking. But, it's early days yet.
yes....
of these "pictures" the 5170 does indeed look to be the most beautiful. The DNA of the 5070, however, is very easy to discern. If i had no Pateks at all, I would be very tempted by the 5170. Such a watch needs to be seen and felt though before one can be ...
Jerome, if there are any samples and you have spares........
First choice the split second chrono followed very closely by the new in house 2 register beauty Keep the pics coming Jullian

Great work, Jerome.
Very nice presentation of the new PP creations, my friend. Will have to think about them, and to see them in the flesh before any definitive judgement. The new 5960 P is a perfect example... Dressy, with the discontinued ( ? ) ruthenium dial, or a bit spo...
5070 vrr 5170
Nicolas said exactly what i was thinking. First, i think one needs to see them in reality. Feel them, watch how the angles reflect. Wear them. But my initial gut reaction was a question. The 5070s are flawed to an extent. The lamania movement works so muc...
An awesome new lineup from Patek!
My favorite of the lot is the 5950, but to be honest, all the new models are quite attractive! Kudos to Patek! Thanks for the wonderful report, Dje (and thanks Art for posting)! Cheers, Daos
That is quite a lineup of chronos
Great report and congratulations to PP. The 5059A is without doubt my favorite, and actually the only one that really speaks to me from the new collection of chronos. I love the idea of a split seconds movement encasesd in stainless steel. And this one is...
I have a naughty lust...........
for that new 5980 Nautilus with the grey/black dial. Interesting to see what the new annual calendar Nautilus will look like too Simon
Wow, Simon...Are you in for another of your miraculous ( but a bit expensive ) ...
Walk? Naughty ...Boy. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Well I already had the walk....
when I took the PAM312 back to the AD and I see that PPs are not easy to come by! Lead time on the white gold 5712 is July, the SS 5712 is end of 2010. The 5980 - when they are made. Simon
Thank you Jerome....I can't
pinpoint what's wrong with 5170. It looks like a modern piece trying to be a vintage. Is it the text or something....am I the only one feeling it? It is so close to perfection but yet it just fall flat for me. Dial wise, I will pick 5070 any day. I truly ...
tks for sharing
however i prefer old dial/color of 5960P, the new dial is a too bright-coloured and looks like a fake one. just my 2 cents..
Thx...Jerome...
Sounds that many innovations. But I still prefer the good old days...5070/5004/old dial 5960P...etc JMHO... Anyway, 5950A is eye-catching. How would you compare it with the 5959P? Finally, could you be kind enough to post other special models like the 533...
the 5170
is a very nice watch but I prefer the 5070 the 5070 is much more balanced and the dial and case are also nicer ... the 5070 will remain my most favorite chronograph eve rmade About the size , 39 mm .... damn that's a pity I won't say all the watches need ...
Thank you, Dje! Personally, I liked more the..
arabic numerals on the 5070. Amazing new introductions.
Why do I keep scrolling back to the 5950?
Might well be the Chrono for me. Thanks for the pics.
Thanks Jerome....
for a great report.... the most interesting to seems the ss 5950.... is the retail price announced yet? (although from your report I fear that I should not ask) cheers
a lot ;-)
the 5959 is around 280 K euro (if I remember correct) so I'm afraid this 5950 which has the same movement will be in the same range. Steel might be a bit cheaper than platinum but even if it would be 20K less, it still won't be affordable for 99% of us.
You are wrong.....
it will not be affordable for 99.99 % of us..... lol thanks for the info.... cheers
Thanks, Jerome, for the interesting report.
I like the blue dial on the 5960. Never really cared for the slate/ruthenium dial. Happy to see PP bringing back the cushion shape especially in the 5950. Would love to see them in the metal. Aloha, Bob
Wow, this is a big year for Patek Philippe!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing other new Nautilus pieces and perhaps even a new annual calendar.
WOW, this will be a year i Patek history to remember
Hi Dje what an amazing stream of watches they release this year. thank you for a great report, Dje best Christian
You mean the 5951? Yeah right, darn ugly, and only 2 pieces will sell in 5 years
and Patek will stop production before you regret it and next thing you know, something will bid for it for US$2M That's was the story about 5020 which is easily 3x the price of a 3970. Go figure. Larry.
Excellent way to introduce us the 2010 novelties.
Thanks a lot Jérôme for this interesting post: 2010 seems to be a very productive year for Patek. Fr.Xavier PS: my shot of two of the inspirations... This message has been edited by foversta on 2010-03-17 15:46:12...
5170 steals the show, ....for me.
Beautiful watch, with a great 1940's look. Great size, pulsation dial is ultra cool. Love the two different colored counter hands and calatrava style case. I personally would have prefered the use elegant leaf hands vs. straight sword, but it's still a ve...
Thanks. Great info.
Very nice news from Patek, will see them live on sunday. Thanks. Vte
So the TV-Shape Patek is back
Long Live 5020!!!! Now I have a new target for the next 10 years..5951. That would be a nice companion to my 5020R Enjoy. Larry...
Can't wait to see the 5950A.
Thanks so much for this post, Jerome! Best, CaliforniaJed
Among the new line-up, the 1 most likely to
order will be 5170 if in RG and with Breguet numeral instead of Roman
I think...
Sorry to say - I think no one for me :-( even if I had the matching size of wallet! The new movement is very beautiful but the case is boring and the dial looks cheap compared to the 5070 - looks like a fake as somebody already has poi...
What a lineup...
I am very interested to see the new 5980/1A on this charcoal/black dial. Any idea when would this be available? I hope that it isn't too long as it is just a change of dial. I only hope that the bracelet for it is a little thicker, as it looked somewhat t...
Great post.....But I sure am relieved as I always dread this time of year because.......
It normally spells days and weeks of wanting and fantasizing over one of Pateks new offerings..... But not this year.... Whilst I like what has been released I will not be rushing to my AD.... The new chrono is nice but just not for me.....The movement ho...
I'm glad I saved you Miles! ! nt

i am NOT in love with the 5170, which is actually GREAT news. every patek that i own take me a long time to fall in love with, and as such i stay in love with them for a long long time. dun kbow why, watches that takes my breath away i then to bore of the...
Do we know of the list price for the fabulous 5951
I hope it is still less than a 5016.. Larry
What a firework
The new President introduces himself with very impressing new watches! But the splitsecond chronos are 440.000,00 and 500.000,00 CHF. OH MY GOD...THAT'S A FORTUNE. Do I really want do this? To be honest, 5004 would be good enough for me! 5070P and my belo...
