Patek Chronograph 5370, 130, 1463. The epitome of fine chronographs?

Ref 130, steel case:
Ref 5370, in platinum, with a black enamel dial:
The problem is that even if the Valjoux 23 is a good movement, I would love to see something more refined... The 5370, with its split seconds is better.
The black enamel dial is captivating, but I am not fan of these two subdials which are located under the 3 / 9 o clock line.
The Ref 130 is superb, but a tad too small, with its 31 mm diameter.
The Ref 1463 case is better, with its 35 mm case, but I too often saw this dial, which is very close to the 5070.
So, for me, the ideal would be the sector dial of the Ref 130, in the 41 mm case of the 5370, with a flat ( and even better ) step bezel, and the movement of the 5370, and the pushers of the 130 or the 5370.
Steel would be my favorite metal. But platinum would do it, too.
What do you think?
Best,
Nicolas

These Patek Chronographs are very important elements of Chronos history
I also share your opinion about the 5370 coming back as a great representative of Patek chronographs legacy. For the older references, I would prefer the 530 to the 130 as it is bigger (36 or 36.5mm), only larger lugs which look more balanced to me (130 h...
It is a compliment, and a well deserved one, as...
This is to me the finest Patek of the 2015 collection. Yes ,the 530 case with its 36 mm is very interesting. To me better than the 130 because of the size, 36 mm being " easier " to wear than 31 mm. Best, Mark. Nicolas
I think these old chronos have so much character
The balance and design of the date together with the case are just perfect Movements are pretty good but can be found in other brands for much less money though The 5370 P is another jewel in the crown I would wonder though if I was going to spend north o...
Breathtaking pieces. Chronographs. Legendary.
I like it both in steel and platinum. Steel , the metal would characterize it as a dignified tool watch. While platinum would make it more elegant but low key. Cheers & best. Geross
I think it's a matter of asking.
Patek is quite flexible when asking nicely. Best, Kari
5370P will go down as one of the great chronos from Patek......
.....I think the watch is close to flawless for me. Having said that, I think the vintage examples have an edge on classiness. Its hard to pinpoint exactly where that edge exists other than to see the watches in the flesh and see the class that they exude...
One Patek Chrono? Ok, 5070 for me too.
And the original G, for me. Which is a luck as I own that one. I totally agree with you on the class of these vintage Chronos, too. The sector dial kills me. Best, Joe. Nicolas
130 and 1463
are my favourite. But I prefer ref 130 compare to 1463. Steel will be nice for my taste Ronald
I'd like a modern reinterpretation of the ref.130 and...
