That's a really nice shot ...
of a watch I've been on the fence about for a while but your picture gives it a perspective I've not seen before, one which I like! Great watch!
I Like It a Lot, but I think it's quite niche, so I also understand why you're on the fence
Intricate with decent Lume
The 5172 achieves a rare feat of intricacy and a good amount of lume at the same time. The 5320 also achieves it but most models with a lot of lume look..well.. blunt.
I love wearing an aquanaut but it doesn’t have the same intricacy.
Then you have quite a few models like the 5960 and 5961 with a tiny bit of lume but not really enough to be useful. The 5172 is truly useful at night and by day looks (as shown in your photo) spectacular!

I didn't expect the lume to be as good as it is and was quite surprised when I found out
A beauty!!
...and yes, occasionally this one. Though admittedly I am too lazy to set the date 😉
Have a good weekend all!

That's exactly the reason why I do not own any annual or perpetual calendar :-)
Yours is lovely as Well.
Almost any yellow gold Patek with a brown strap will wear casual - at least my old calatravas are, as well as the VC's.
Only the lighly barock VC 6394Q is giving me a hard time at casual 
. But this is a great combination here - I always find it harder to wear white gold casual, esp. with a black dial.

For me it's the other way around. I have a hard time wearing yellow gold or rose gold casually but none problem wearing white gold or platinum casually
Casual and classy shot for this 5172! Here’s my casual 5124 with red shoes (for me and him ;-)...
Thank you Sir, and this shiny yellow strap is also on its way to dress down a much more important (incoming) watch....Pics available hopefully within the next couple weeks! ;-)
It's my target to apply for one of those for my 50th Birthday. That's quite a few years in the future
It's probably well known that, in my view, Patek's rare handcrafts are truly among the very best watches of any brand...so I can only enthusiastically support your idea! :-) Wish you all the best in this quest! Cheers.
Somehow I knew this one would come out on this thread! Always a pleasure to see it dear Fab.
Great shot of the 5172, I was actually trying it for the 3rd time the other week. It is my next Patek for sure. perfect for my style and lifestyle. enjoy it with health!
The 5212 is *definitely* made to be casual.
Of course you can dress it up if you want to, but you're wearing it the way it was meant to be worn.
Nice one.
The 5146g works well as a crossover casual piece. Cream dial and brown strap. Blue strap would be good too. And the 5146g/p with the slate dial works well as a casual watch too.
