Vouching for the 5170 with Breguet (don't forget the intoxicating movement with lateral clutch)

Wearing it today under a long sleeve and love sneaking peeks at the dial throughout the day just to see those applied numerals. Feels like I'm getting away with something naughty because it's such a hidden treat to possess. Classic architecture. Best, Rob

Always thankful for these allocations....which have acquired an even higher meaning during the past couple days🙏

Bonus picture with a 5089G sibling from an event (2024 vs. 2025, but delivered the same year) Have a great evening 🥂

Some nice choices...

you are considering. I really like the 5170G-001, it'll look less dressy with a more casual strap. I'll look for the first series in WG if I go for the 1815 Chrono. The VC Malte Chrono PT CEP is a great alternative too. I owned those three but sold them t

Philippe Stern was an absolute genius and visionary in the world of horology. This was evident not just in the super complicated high end masterpieces, but

I tried it on at a Patek boutique in Lausanne last weekend, with this exact same strap.

And I must say it was magic on the wrist, it has a je ne sais quoi quality to it that its successor (the 5170 with breguet numerals, which I own and love) does not possess. Maybe it has something to with the positioning of the subdials or the more "classi

thickness isn't horrible for me

I do agree with the sentiment to do one thing and do it well. Not that the 5960 does anything poorly, and actually combines a bunch of things well, just thought that movement finishing on the others is def superior. In fact, the 5960 technically, is prob
