Patek Philippe

Haven’t posted in a while. I know J version is least popular but I find this particular dial very proportional. If one removed the color, it would look very cool in steel.

It's more warm. And I thought it's a great look for a 5170

The roman numeral dial is also quite different in modern Patek’s chrono. Will be a classic in future imho.

I know the world is lusting over 5070, but that doesn't take away the accomplishment 5170 achieved when it debuted.  Wear it in good health!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments! I agree, 5170 has a historic place in the future for many reasons including its esthetics of this time period (this type of Calatrava case was and is being made for many Patek models, including annual and perpetual calendars). The 5170J was the first chrono released with in house movement. The most exciting one would have been for Beyer, unless there will be a steel version.

The 5170J is a beautiful watch.  It will takes its place in Patek history as the first men's chronograph using the in-house 29-535 movement.  The ladies version 7071 was introduced a few years before the 5170J with the same movement, but the 5170J is definitely the more recognized watch.

I have not worn it in a long time and now learn to appreciate it. YG is not a popular metal this days, but it does work well on this watch.
