Or blackened salmon 🍣 . I like how this 5172G-010 looks and wears. The number contrast really pops. Patek Philippe certainly is a master on case design and the 29-535 PS movement is a class of its own. I actually like how the pushers feel too. When compar...

How perfect is that brown gator strap, too

Thank you, and I can only agree on how wonderful the case design is!

New addition, Raymond? If so, congratulations!!!🎊🎉🎈🍾 A grail for me! Enjoy!🥂

New to me, yes, Mach….Thank you…can’t ignore or resist the value play here 🙌🏻🙏🏻🥂

Amazing addition to your spectacular collection, Raymond!👏👏👏 Congratulations again!🥂

Too kind Mach…really appreciate your AD visit reports.

It is excellent.

Test wear both and you will know at the instant. Thanks for your kind words.

Stunning tops chronograph duo!

It’s a good feeling to get this finally…

Congratulations.

I am envious of your collection too. Thanks Goh 🙏🏻

Thanks, Raymond.

It’s quite the duo you have here! Wonderful !

I am lucky to collect competing teams. Thank you Emmanuel.

Patek did so many things right with the 5172. The numerals are fresh - syringe hands is cool - that case design is outstanding, not just the lugs but also the caseband - the movement is a looker - tasti tondi pushers. The list goes on.

Spot on, my friend…3 tier lugs and box crystal are a plus and I’m good with the 41mm case too. Thank you.

I have the blue and - while the blue is a lightly grained matte - when the light hits the dial right it takes on a beautiful almost liquid sheen. Is that the same with the salmon?

The main dial is not matte, would say “flat” like paint but not dull…however, the 2 sub dials does shine a bit with radial sheen if I change angles….hope this helps.

This Dato! The Patek is quite cool, but on the backside, the Dato is the killer. Good to own both of them, clearly!

Just like Daytona and Speedmaster, Subs and SeaMasters…I like to collect both 🥂

That's Passion.

Congratulations,a fantastic new addition!

Thank you jlux 🙏🏻

You had me at the syringe hands, pump pushers and the beautiful salmon dial.

The same reasons why I am hooked instead of the salmon 😅. Thanks Gary 🙏🏻

Wow great catch! I love this reference! You have officially confused me with my target list!

Our target may shift every so often when new releases come out haha…way too many options and talents nowadays. Thank you 🙏🏻
