The strap is the game changer !!


The thing is the watch shows its power under real light and on the wrist, when I saw it on my wrist I got a big smile in my face. But you are are absolute right a dark blue alligator strap or a black strap with blue or gray stiches would fit the watch also perfect

Patek Philippe 5178G-012 NEW MINUTE REPEATER 2023

 
 By: HERMINATOR : April 9th, 2023-20:41
​After hearing the Patek Philippe news, I have to say that the new Reference 5178G-012 is an absolutely remarkable watch. It has a hand-guilloched dial covered with enamel, which appears in many different colors depending on the incidence of light. In add...  

Looks a little too flamboyant for me, but we'll see...

I'm still a little timid to wear my brightly colored pants. But then again, some people are accustomed to dressing more conservatively and some are accustomed to having a little more fun with what they wear. I'm slowly edging out of the closet (get the pu...

Yes I can understand you absolut!! I’m also more conservative but i want to show how many faces the watch with different straps has. I don’t think I would wear it with an orange strap but it shows the potential from that piece.

Patrick_y, what if you try it with taupe 16_0906 straps

I think someone is calling me here... ;-)) Very appreciative of Patek's direction in this area, my friend, though even within our clear "modernization" efforts in the design department, I agree it was sensitive to include both straps with this piece.

 
 By: FabR : April 9th, 2023-23:50
The blue dial already offers quite a significant departure from the 5078 and earlier 5178, especially for such a classical complication as a MR, so I can understand that some collectors may prefer less "impactful" versions when it comes to design and choi... 

🙂👍👍

 
 By: Gelato Monster : April 10th, 2023-02:16
If I may share my feelings, this vibrant color and other model color detail touches actually expands PP traditional into avant-garde classic which is very chic and present. The world need this after the 2 years of depressing days. The new collectors also ... 

That's true... It's been a dark world! Time for some color and light!

 
 By: patrick_y : April 10th, 2023-04:26
We've been seeing more color on watches. Especially green and burgundy in addition to the blue and Tiffany Blue.

Fully agreed, I'm actually a profoundly optimistic and generally very happy person, and I like to think Patek and horology are playing a role in this sense -- the world needs beauty, color, and optimism now possibly more than ever in our lifetimes! ;-)

 
 By: FabR : April 10th, 2023-13:30
I'm sure there will always be room for a classical offering though, also in terms of design codes. Striking a right balance between respecting Patek's unique history and tradition with a new model, while constantly researching for progress in all areas (t...

5070P vs 5170P

 
 By: HERMINATOR : April 10th, 2023-06:22
It is nearly the same situation as it was 2018 when Patek released the 5170P with baguettes. Today 5 years later the world loves the 5170P as well. ...  

Agree

 
 By: Gelato Monster : April 10th, 2023-07:41
5070 will always be an icon but I also fall in love with 5170 less ornate yet more authoritative dial

True! Lots of potential!

 
 By: patrick_y : April 9th, 2023-22:42
Call me boring, but I like the plain old 5078 myself. To my eyes, that's perfection.

Perfect for our fab

He has a pretty magnificent wardrobe

Indeed!

He's so stylish that it even rubbed off on his girlfriend's dog! The dog models designer sunglasses!

What a clever dog!

Even though likely not classic pp style. Kind of reminds me of the enamel dial jpc collection

Classic Rose Engine Pattern

 
 By: enjoythemusic : April 9th, 2023-22:47
My wife has this pattern in the center section, yet in purple. It's really nice and does indeed have a lot of 'personality' depending on lighting, We love it! ...  

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻

For me, this is a downturn personally

 
 By: penfriend : April 10th, 2023-11:43
As I had already been in discussion with my AD on the classic 5078 and was about to order one. I love colors but this new version does not sing to me like the former one.

I think it’s a lot individual taste

 
 By: HERMINATOR : April 10th, 2023-18:04
For me the cream dials from the 5078G and the 5178G didn’t fit with my skin, the complete reference 5078 was for me to small on the wrist on the one hand, and on the other hand I like the cathedral gong much more, but it’s all about individual taste and f...

guilloche dial ! IMO the strap should be a darker blue or another color that accentuates the dial better than light blue or orange.
