A 5170p will
Jul 19, 2015,06:21 AM
be interesting to see. I wonder if it would change the views of the majority towards the 5170.
I'm very pleased to have found some like minded fans of the 5170 in this thread. I have been so accustomed to the opinions of the watch aficionados that the 5070 is the watch to opt for. I love each of the 5170 dial options and look forward to picking one up in the future.

My first Patek Philippe 5170G
By: GT3 : July 11th, 2015-15:50
Hello guys, Finally I decided to go for it! My first PP 5170G! I absolutely love it! Here are some pics: I love it on my wrist! Here' s a shot with it's new born 2015 sibling Not bad either. ;-) But I prefer the pulsation scale on the dial. Can you guess ...
First, welcome to the forum.
By: masterspiece : July 11th, 2015-19:09
Second, for your first Patek that is some choice! :-) Congratulations!. Aloha, Bob
White/ Silver for me too
By: Cinch : July 12th, 2015-02:22
It's nice to see some photos of the silver/ white and black together. I agree I think the white is the better choice here, the black subdials look a little too big for me no overall it does seem to miss the pulsation scale around the outside. Excellent ch...
Pulsation scale
By: thekonger : July 16th, 2015-19:16
The pulsation scale seems irrelevant unless the owner is in the medical field. Isthe5070 a fly back?
Again,
By: Mark in Paris : July 17th, 2015-08:56
the scale is not here as a "tool" but as a decoration. You don't seem to like it and that's a personal choice of course. But you have to consider that some people may like the way it looks. Furthermore, this scale is refering to the first chronographs the...
Fantastic!...
By: JBP99P : July 12th, 2015-02:43
it was my first PP also and a very special acquisition for me. I don't agree that most members would pick the black dial, the white version with the pulsations scale and breguet numbers make for a unique watch. Enjoy it. JBP
Personally
By: el1125 : July 18th, 2015-18:06
i chose also 5170 white dial. While I feel Black is nice, the white is sublime! Especially with the scale reference.
Congratulations!
By: joenghenry : July 12th, 2015-03:06
The first PP in house chronograph movement is beautiful. I am sure the pressing of chronograph buttons, especially the return zero one, is an enjoyable experience. The dial with Breguet numbers is simply great! It is a classic doctor's watch with the 15 p...
Congrats for this great 5170!
By: foversta : July 12th, 2015-03:10
You made the right choice! This dial enhances the beauty of the applied figures. Congrats! Fx
First Love is the Deepest
By: MTF : July 12th, 2015-04:00
GT3 The first Love is the deepest. Congratulations on a great choice. I would choose the dial version that you did too. I am biased being a physician so the pulsograph markings are a natural choice! One of the few Patek Philippe watches that appeal to me....
I'm very happy for you
By: Mark in Paris : July 12th, 2015-09:38
I'm preparing an article about this version of the 5170G and think it is a very important Patek chronograph. I prefer this version too because of the pulsometric scale and the smaller subsidiary dials. Even if the black dial one looks very nice too and is...
I look forward to reading this Mark
By: Cinch : July 12th, 2015-10:19
ive always been disappointed in the opinion of most others on th 5170. It's mostly disregarded and seen as inferior to the 5070. I don't think it's just because I have smaller wrists but to me a classic watch is not 42mm, it's just too much. I much prefer...
Congrats!

Welcome to the forum!! What a lovely first Patek. Superb taste and an amazing choice!
Welcome!

Thank you all for the kind words!

White Dial Is More Interesting and Less Common
By: patekova : July 21st, 2015-13:17
Congratulations on your first Patek and a wonderful one at that! Pulsation dials are historically a prized rarity in Patek chronographs. The black dial is beautiful and finally Patek got it right by using leaf hands to go with the Breguet dial, which to m...
Big congrats! :)
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : July 13th, 2015-07:54
It\'s a lovely chronograph with a superb movement. I haven\'t seen the black dial version yet but I suspect the pulsograph white dial version you have has a tad more "vintage" charm. Great choice and enjoy your new PP in the best of health! Cheers Robin
Wonderful watch. Congratulations.
By: TheMadDruid : July 13th, 2015-08:38
You didn't just dip you toes into the Patek lake. You made a big, big splash! Fantastic watch.
1st pick
By: keks : July 18th, 2015-01:39
Firstly congratulations on a super watch. Quite a splash entry into the world of PP I must say. I suppose I am in the minority here, but I much prefer the 5170 to the 5070. Better case size and timeless design. 5070 are wonderful in their own way, but in ...

I'm writing something about the 5170 and its real place in patek's history, hope you'll likeit. Cheers, Mark
Very
By: dr.kol : July 18th, 2015-16:17
exciting! Looking forward to that. I'm still considering 5070 and waiting for 5170P. Best, Kari
Cingratulations on the 5170
By: watch-guy.com : July 18th, 2015-22:19
5070 / 5170 different strokes for different folks I think you made the best choice as you love this watch and that is what is important Good luck and enjoy Mark- looking forward to your expose Julian

5170p
By: el1125 : July 20th, 2015-21:30
woukd be interesting to see what dial color they choose for the 5170p. Anybody think blue? Hmm.
I did
By: Mark in Paris : July 21st, 2015-02:16
but thought maybe, as I told Nick, that the blue is already very present in today's catalogue (5270, (5524), 5124, 5200... without counting the Nautilus line or Elipse) The black is taken by the 5170G so I wonder what they can do next. A white one could b...
I forgot the Salmon indeed
By: Mark in Paris : July 21st, 2015-04:30
Would they dare to propose it in a much wider offer than what they usually did? Who knows. The RG and black dial is a nice combo we can see today with the 5205R. It could indeed look really good :) Nice guess keks :) Cheers, Mark
I hope that's true keks
By: GT3 : July 21st, 2015-14:09
Salmon with Breguet numerals would be absolutely stunning and the 5170R with black stick dial too! Let us pray. Best, H
Definitley the 5170 is a watch which deserves much more interest
By: Mark in Paris : July 21st, 2015-02:11
However, for the P reference, I don't know what they will do. I thought about the black dial... before they launched it for the G version this year. So, leaves blue but I think there are already many blue dials in the colelction and as the 5070P was alrea...
Same watch for you and me
By: vaderlim : July 21st, 2015-22:27
Hi, I got the same PP as you did. Congratulations! Beautiful piece of art, I must admit. Shown it to my wife and guess what, she loves it too....! PP5170 ...
Congrats vaderlim!
By: GT3 : July 22nd, 2015-12:26
It looks amazing! Every time I wear it I love it more and more. To me this is a true classic! Personally I can't wait till the 5170R and the 5170P are finished and the model will be discontinued. I think it will be much more appreciated after they stopped...
Congrats to u too
By: vaderlim : July 23rd, 2015-06:37
And you wear yours in good health too. All the best.....
Great wristshot!

Thanks for the welcoming note, Mark.
very very nice choice!

had a short test drive with the same watch. Loved it! Very balanced & understated. Turn it around and a small miracle appears :-) Enjoy it! (tightly wrapped in plastic) ...
