ZSHSZ's enduring affection for his Patek Philippe Ref. 5170G chronograph, a sentiment he's held since acquiring it, offers a compelling look into the long-term ownership experience of a significant timepiece. This article explores the nuances of living with such a reference, particularly focusing on how strap choices can transform its aesthetic and personal connection. His post serves as a valuable anchor for understanding the subtle yet impactful decisions collectors make to personalize their watches.
This # 5170G is a stunning model with a silver Breguet numeral index on the white dial.
Any thoughts on which strap you prefer?
It’s hard to choose one between this two, but to me the brown is the absolute champ, it blends better with the numerals and gives the dial a better contrast! The blue is more young and fun... Thank you for posting your beauty!
The blue strap is nouveau and cooler. Love them both.
Thanks for all your reply's! I agree the brown is my preferred strap
I wouldn’t ascribe a sex to a watch, though. Most of mine look and feel rather androgynous.
