The Cathedral gongs on a Patek MR is to die for in terms of listening and enjoyment!!  Can’t wait for you to post the next MR your friend is waiting on.  Must be a magnificent reference as well when your friend has such great taste!  Would definitely listen in the dark to reminisce the old days when there was no light and one had to listen to the gongs to tell time in the evening…

I die for these Breguet numerals and hands set and that classy and classic dial and case. How not to approve it? Thank you for sharing your experience and big congrats to its fortunate owner!! Have a great New Year 2022! Abel

Amazing 5178G!!!

Good lord that is BEAUTIFUL. Ever since I saw this model I have been scared to purchase one as I actually think it could very well be my "PERFECT" watch !!!

If I had to nitpick I would prefer a BLACK enamel dial but everything else I would help exactly as is so for me, Patek did everything right in terms of size, dial, Breguet numerals, Breguet hands, cathedral gongs, etc... My reluctance is the fact I know i...

…heard a couple of MRs in the Salon and must say that this piece had the best sound 🎼🎶 For me it was just topped by the 5208 in whole, but this is even more unobtainable 😳. Don Justino, I think for you the 5178G would be perfect ☝️8(as the LUC Full Strike... 

So Classic. Simple but incredibly beautiful.

It really gives a good impression of the difference to the 5078. This is my favorite of the two (also better than the 5078 black dial). Makes me long to talk to my AD....

You are welcome ! Now please go and

This would be a fantastic watch even without the MR complication. Beautiful applied Breguet numerals, gorgeous hands, and perfect enamel dial. When you add the MR, it becomes the perfect watch.

The 5178 is understated but
