When it comes to expensive Chronos, are you more fan of manual or Auto movements?

In general, in this exclusive category, I prefer manual movements. But I would make an exception, here, as I much prefer the 5960 P to the 5170 J. But it is just the reflect of my personal taste. Not necessarily yours. Best, Nicolas

For me the manual

and I would take any day 5170J rather than 5960P. The movement in 5170 is simply stunning, the watch is of right size and it is slim enough. I will buy it when it is available in white metal. However, the J-version is not bad at all. Best, Kari

I'm with Nicolas.......

Personally, I love the 5960P (original dial) it has everything & more that I would require in a daily wear atch. This was also the first in-house chrono movement that Patek designed. I would buy one tomorrow, given the opportunity :) Regards Tony

thx

thx for the insight. i LOVE the new 5960r with black dial. think it is absolutely stunning. hard to compare a J with white/silver dial to an R with black. i own 5146J and 5980R so im very torn as to what to do. maybe trade 5146J and royal oak chrono in YG... 

Not a bad idea,

5970G is stunning. What I have learned that less is more. I mean that a huge amount of watches is difficult to enjoy because the best way of enjoying them is to wear the watch on the wrist. Best, Kari

Since it came out. My favorite is still the pt with grey. I think it has everything going for it. Size, a good modern design, functionality, and automatic for daily wear. IMO its only problem is, that it feels too top heavy on the wrist for my taste. Ive ...

5960p for me
