White/ Silver for me too
It's nice to see some photos of the silver/ white and black together. I agree I think the white is the better choice here, the black subdials look a little too big for me no overall it does seem to miss the pulsation scale around the outside.
Excellent choice, enjoy!
My first Patek Philippe 5170G
Hello guys, Finally I decided to go for it! My first PP 5170G! I absolutely love it! Here are some pics: I love it on my wrist! Here' s a shot with it's new born 2015 sibling Not bad either. ;-) But I prefer the pulsation scale on the dial. Can you guess ...
That's a nice one, though most of forum member post I read here will ...
pick the black. Nevertheless, it's right to go with your feelings, see which one talks to you best. I picked my Nautilus 5726 white dial, too. Congratulations on your 1st PP. I know this feeling, still fresh. Rgds Raymond
A very sophisticated choice,
congrats. I love the softness of the winding of the movement. Best, Kari
First, welcome to the forum.
Second, for your first Patek that is some choice! :-) Congratulations!. Aloha, Bob

Pulsation scale
The pulsation scale seems irrelevant unless the owner is in the medical field. Isthe5070 a fly back?
Again,
the scale is not here as a "tool" but as a decoration. You don't seem to like it and that's a personal choice of course. But you have to consider that some people may like the way it looks. Furthermore, this scale is refering to the first chronographs the...
Fantastic!...
it was my first PP also and a very special acquisition for me. I don't agree that most members would pick the black dial, the white version with the pulsations scale and breguet numbers make for a unique watch. Enjoy it. JBP
Personally
i chose also 5170 white dial. While I feel Black is nice, the white is sublime! Especially with the scale reference.
Congratulations!
The first PP in house chronograph movement is beautiful. I am sure the pressing of chronograph buttons, especially the return zero one, is an enjoyable experience. The dial with Breguet numbers is simply great! It is a classic doctor's watch with the 15 p...
Congrats for this great 5170!
You made the right choice! This dial enhances the beauty of the applied figures. Congrats! Fx
First Love is the Deepest
GT3 The first Love is the deepest. Congratulations on a great choice. I would choose the dial version that you did too. I am biased being a physician so the pulsograph markings are a natural choice! One of the few Patek Philippe watches that appeal to me....
I'm very happy for you
I'm preparing an article about this version of the 5170G and think it is a very important Patek chronograph. I prefer this version too because of the pulsometric scale and the smaller subsidiary dials. Even if the black dial one looks very nice too and is...
I look forward to reading this Mark
ive always been disappointed in the opinion of most others on th 5170. It's mostly disregarded and seen as inferior to the 5070. I don't think it's just because I have smaller wrists but to me a classic watch is not 42mm, it's just too much. I much prefer...
Congrats!
Welcome to the forum!! What a lovely first Patek. Superb taste and an amazing choice!
The 5070 really has a special place and it was the first chrono since the 1463 and 1579
Hence, their success and special place in the modern period. I agree with you that the 5170 is underestimated. That's why I have something to say about that :) Thanks Nick. Cheers, Mark
Welcome!
Welcome to the forum! And I am super jelous, I can't wait for the day when I buy my first Patek! Enjoy! Regards, Dylan
Thank you all for the kind words!
I hope I can add to this wonderful forum! Hope you don't mind me posting some more pics! ;-) Best, H ...
Congrats for a lovely watch.
It seems you like your classic car design as well as watches ;) Best, Ahmed
White Dial Is More Interesting and Less Common
Congratulations on your first Patek and a wonderful one at that! Pulsation dials are historically a prized rarity in Patek chronographs. The black dial is beautiful and finally Patek got it right by using leaf hands to go with the Breguet dial, which to m...
Big congrats! :)
It\'s a lovely chronograph with a superb movement. I haven\'t seen the black dial version yet but I suspect the pulsograph white dial version you have has a tad more "vintage" charm. Great choice and enjoy your new PP in the best of health! Cheers Robin
Wonderful watch. Congratulations.
You didn't just dip you toes into the Patek lake. You made a big, big splash! Fantastic watch.
1st pick
Firstly congratulations on a super watch. Quite a splash entry into the world of PP I must say. I suppose I am in the minority here, but I much prefer the 5170 to the 5070. Better case size and timeless design. 5070 are wonderful in their own way, but in ...
We'll create our club
I'm writing something about the 5170 and its real place in patek's history, hope you'll likeit. Cheers, Mark
Very
exciting! Looking forward to that. I'm still considering 5070 and waiting for 5170P. Best, Kari
Cingratulations on the 5170
5070 / 5170 different strokes for different folks I think you made the best choice as you love this watch and that is what is important Good luck and enjoy Mark- looking forward to your expose Julian
A 5170p will
be interesting to see. I wonder if it would change the views of the majority towards the 5170. I'm very pleased to have found some like minded fans of the 5170 in this thread. I have been so accustomed to the opinions of the watch aficionados that the 507...
5170p
woukd be interesting to see what dial color they choose for the 5170p. Anybody think blue? Hmm.
I did
but thought maybe, as I told Nick, that the blue is already very present in today's catalogue (5270, (5524), 5124, 5200... without counting the Nautilus line or Elipse) The black is taken by the 5170G so I wonder what they can do next. A white one could b...
I forgot the Salmon indeed
Would they dare to propose it in a much wider offer than what they usually did? Who knows. The RG and black dial is a nice combo we can see today with the 5205R. It could indeed look really good :) Nice guess keks :) Cheers, Mark
I hope that's true keks
Salmon with Breguet numerals would be absolutely stunning and the 5170R with black stick dial too! Let us pray. Best, H
Definitley the 5170 is a watch which deserves much more interest
However, for the P reference, I don't know what they will do. I thought about the black dial... before they launched it for the G version this year. So, leaves blue but I think there are already many blue dials in the colelction and as the 5070P was alrea...
Same watch for you and me
Hi, I got the same PP as you did. Congratulations! Beautiful piece of art, I must admit. Shown it to my wife and guess what, she loves it too....! PP5170 ...
Congrats vaderlim!
It looks amazing! Every time I wear it I love it more and more. To me this is a true classic! Personally I can't wait till the 5170R and the 5170P are finished and the model will be discontinued. I think it will be much more appreciated after they stopped...
Great wristshot!
Welcome on PuristSPro Vaderlim and huge congratulations for your 5170G. It is a great Patek reference. Wear it in the best of health. Cheers, Mark
very very nice choice!
had a short test drive with the same watch. Loved it! Very balanced & understated. Turn it around and a small miracle appears :-) Enjoy it! (tightly wrapped in plastic) ...
