True! Lots of potential!
Call me boring, but I like the plain old 5078 myself. To my eyes, that's perfection.
Patek Philippe 5178G-012 NEW MINUTE REPEATER 2023
After hearing the Patek Philippe news, I have to say that the new Reference 5178G-012 is an absolutely remarkable watch. It has a hand-guilloched dial covered with enamel, which appears in many different colors depending on the incidence of light. In add...
Looks a little too flamboyant for me, but we'll see...
I'm still a little timid to wear my brightly colored pants. But then again, some people are accustomed to dressing more conservatively and some are accustomed to having a little more fun with what they wear. I'm slowly edging out of the closet (get the pu...
Patrick_y, what if you try it with taupe 16_0906 straps
Color is the Professor domain. 🙂
I think someone is calling me here... ;-)) Very appreciative of Patek's direction in this area, my friend, though even within our clear "modernization" efforts in the design department, I agree it was sensitive to include both straps with this piece.
The blue dial already offers quite a significant departure from the 5078 and earlier 5178, especially for such a classical complication as a MR, so I can understand that some collectors may prefer less "impactful" versions when it comes to design and choi...
🙂👍👍
If I may share my feelings, this vibrant color and other model color detail touches actually expands PP traditional into avant-garde classic which is very chic and present. The world need this after the 2 years of depressing days. The new collectors also ...
That's true... It's been a dark world! Time for some color and light!
We've been seeing more color on watches. Especially green and burgundy in addition to the blue and Tiffany Blue.
Fully agreed, I'm actually a profoundly optimistic and generally very happy person, and I like to think Patek and horology are playing a role in this sense -- the world needs beauty, color, and optimism now possibly more than ever in our lifetimes! ;-)
I'm sure there will always be room for a classical offering though, also in terms of design codes. Striking a right balance between respecting Patek's unique history and tradition with a new model, while constantly researching for progress in all areas (t...
5070P vs 5170P
It is nearly the same situation as it was 2018 when Patek released the 5170P with baguettes. Today 5 years later the world loves the 5170P as well. ...
Agree
5070 will always be an icon but I also fall in love with 5170 less ornate yet more authoritative dial
True! Lots of potential!

Indeed!
He's so stylish that it even rubbed off on his girlfriend's dog! The dog models designer sunglasses!
I actually love this
Even though likely not classic pp style. Kind of reminds me of the enamel dial jpc collection
Classic Rose Engine Pattern
My wife has this pattern in the center section, yet in purple. It's really nice and does indeed have a lot of 'personality' depending on lighting, We love it! ...
For me, this is a downturn personally
As I had already been in discussion with my AD on the classic 5078 and was about to order one. I love colors but this new version does not sing to me like the former one.
I think it’s a lot individual taste
For me the cream dials from the 5078G and the 5178G didn’t fit with my skin, the complete reference 5078 was for me to small on the wrist on the one hand, and on the other hand I like the cathedral gong much more, but it’s all about individual taste and f...
Awesome piece, especially the
guilloche dial ! IMO the strap should be a darker blue or another color that accentuates the dial better than light blue or orange.
