Maybe the poster wanted to mean that perfection can be cold, too? ;) Allow me to say that your last comment was not necessary, and that I would appreciate if you could avoid that.
"you have to be young to make such commenting. " THAT was avoidable. The rest is ok, you share your opinion, but this last statement is not acceptable. [nt]
It may be language but to my thoughts the comment was naivety so i wanted too ask if the poster was young and without experience. I see that the poster has talked much about how perfect the watch is but still doesn't have even though saying he would. so seems fair to me to ask him about the naivety. not wishing to be uncordial.
Clearly aimed at a younger audience, to me. Calfskin instead of aligator, white contrast stitching and 41 mm are not made fully classic again by using syringe hands. However, for modern Patek fans it will be a desirable piece.
The Montblanc with the Minerva movement/blue dial /SS and it is hard to beat. The Montblanc is 44mm but fits nicely so the PP at 41 should fit most anyone...Jim
I am a huge Patek fan but It seems you want to take the Grand Prize winner for Best Chronograph of the Year in 2016 and disparage it. They are different watches but you can bet Patek will not win Chronograph of the year with it’s look alike to the Montblanc. The 44mm Montblanc movement is beatiful BECAUSE it fills the entire case back yet flat and Oh so much better finished than the PP...Jim
I have pulled the trigger on the 5170p hence I can dream of this after 5 years and hopefully by then a PT venison or stainless steel version would be out ...who knows ! Love the stepped lugs and the boxed glass covering the bezel and pushers ..
Have to wait for real photos but first impression is love. This is my jam

A few question marks for me are will the modern and classic styles meld harmoniously in the real and I’m not 100% on the lugs yet, but I’m optimistic this may be my next Patek.
I personally love it and it's my favourite release (although the 5212 is very interesting as well). As for the size, I own a 5270 which is also 41mm and it wears much, much smaller... If it's like that, then it's really great. Looking forward to seeing it in the metal and on the wrist next week at the salons.
I like the dial and hands on this one more than the 5170.. I would prefer this to be in P or Steel personally but I do really like it. I like the arabic numerals and the new pushers as well.
