After some saving and waiting, I finally added my first Patek Philippe recently. I have been eyeing a few models for some times but to me a Patek chronograph is something special especially one with a salmon dial. Therefore the 5172G with opaline rose-gilt dial immediately caught my eyes when it was announced back in 2022, and it rose quickly to the top of my wish list.
Life has been great as an owner of this beautiful watch so far, loves the superb dial and case, those stunning lugs and the gorgeous movement. Look forward to having more memories with it in the days to come.
Likewise I have been looking at salmon dials for awhile but somehow did not meet the one I like till now. I am very satisfied now as this particular shade of salmon really appeals to me.
For me the case shape is really interesting. This and the PC with similar case have been giving me interest in PP as they typically have more subdued case designs vs for example vacheron. Great watch
This is one of the main reason why I wasnβt totally attracted by the previous 5170 and 5070 models. I prefer the more elaborate case design of the 5172G and 5320G.
