Patek Philippe

Dear fellow WIS, Last week, I took delivery of my new (to me) Patek 5170R-010 😎. Loving the dial and the chrono pusher actuation (though it's not quite as good as the Datograph's), and I think it nicely compliments my 5270G and OG Datograph. It features t...  

This is a beautiful Patek chronograph, and it sounds like you found a nice example. I’ve long wished to add a black dial 5170 to my collection, your post may inspire me to get one in the near future.

You chose wisely. What a beauty.

Wear it in the best of health and happiness.

I will give this a try and let you have my findings. From what I read online, the finishing on the Dato is more visually exuberant, but that does not necessarily mean that it's better of course.

Huge congrats, Pieter! A fantastic pick.

Congrats to the timepiece! Amazing feel on the wrist, superb movement and buttery smooth hand winding experience. I have the same but with a white dial - fits also well with the Patek cuff links (wedding gift from my wife) ...  

That's the reference I have (5170R-001) and it's so versatile in semi-formal and above.
