Patek Philippe

The gold 5711s are no more, but it looks like the gold 5712s are still around. Did you hear different?

The 5170 is great indeed, but ofcourse they had too. It is a watch wcich is good enough to be the successor of the 5070.

Must be great to own both. If only 1 is possible ,... you guys know my choice ;-)

But if you could get both!

The live pictures are particularly convincing IMO that this year's range of Pateks was overall very nice, with one truly outstanding, amazing, just brilliant (to me) watch that goes into Daos' Ridiculously Attractive Watches Archive (My personal highest honor!  LOL!).  Well, you know of which watch I speak! 

Cheers, and thanks for the wonderful coverage of this year's PP models!

It will be be supplied this year but discontinued not later than Basel 2011. That's the information my AD received from PP in Basel!

they re distilled the meaning of sporty elegant  watch.

Thanks for posting.

thanks for a wonderful report Dje.

great to see all these exciting new PP's coming along...while most of them are completely out of my range, some are om my radar...

I am very much fond of the 5960 and i think the way PP does the annual calender is really great - it keeps the dial nice and clean.  Great to see that there is a choice of dial color now and i am really curious how the blue dial compares to the charcoal grey one.

As for the 5980...well, it is kind of applealing ot have a Nautilus chronograph, but i can't help myself and i still prefer the 5712/1A. The thinner case fits the Nautilus better IMO, and it looks sharper on the my wrist.

Cheers,

Stefan

How did you manage to get those pics, my friend?

Thanks for this post.

I have to think about the 5170 ...As I don't really what to think.



Best,

Nicolas

it also took you a few years to realize you need a 5070 ;-)

so a 5170 is  on it's way but you don't know it yet

lol

Too perfect for me, with some serious imperfections...



See, for example, the pulsometer ring, which is eaten by the 2 counters.

Then, the Roman XII and 6 are not my taste at all.

On the other side, the movement is better included on the 5170 than on the 5070.

The case of the 5170 is more elegant than the 5070 one.

But at the end, the 5070 has more charm...

All of these observations are only the reflect of my own taste, of course, and need to be confirmed with an " in the flesh " experience.

Best,

Nicolas

I agree with most things you say but not about the case.

for be the 5070's case is one of the mosr beautifull cases I ever saw. and I  can't see a reason whyt the 5170's case would be more elegant

As well as the bezel.

But, once again, I prefer the 5070 to the 5170, by far, because it corresponds more to my personal taste.

Best,

Nicolas

I prefer the 5070. The new watch seem me on e clatrava....but it's good the new pulsation climb.

(excusme for my english but I have not studied english)

a very elegant chrono.dress watch (not too big, not too small).

I'm looking at the the most recent Antiquorum catelog (2nd page) shows a vintage Patek 1463 two register chronograph.  The similarities are clearly apparent,... right down to the straight sword hands, and roman numerals at 6, and 12 o'clock.  By the way, I really love the two roman numerals,... very elegant, and very 1940's.

The 1463 still wins (IMO), due primarliy to having a more narrow bezel (adding a further touch of understatement and refinement) 

  However, the 5170 is certainly a true modern contender, and should find itself in the "skip a turn and move to the classic category"  in very short order,... especially with the very cool and rare pulsation dial (in the Patek vintage world, this dial would command some serious coin).
