2008 / 2019: 11 years of Patek " simple " blue dialed chronographs.
Patek 5070P / 5170P and the last one from this year, the 5172G.
Three blue dials, but three different, much different dials.
Different hands, tachymeters, minutes, hours markers, sub dials, texture, even the blue hue is different.
The 5070 has its reworked Lemania movement, while the 2 others share the same in house movement. But here, we are out of topic, as we are focusing on the dials.
We could also say that each of them has its own character: The 5070 is the more classic, the 5170 the more " dandiesque ", and the 5172 the younger.
Interesting...
Best,
Nicolas

Nice comparisons
I’m a fan of the 5172G. The only thing I’d change is the syringe hands, but it still works. It’s a beautiful dial and I appreciate the proportions and the way they were able to not compromise with cut off numbers. It’s a winning combination for me. I’d do...
Great comparison shot
For me the 5172 has the nicest dial, and the nicest case. Just not sure about the hands though.
It is interesting to note how they chose blue for the 5172G...
Given the previous two a blue P would have been more expected. But I suppose they want the G to appeal to a younger more casual buyer and the future P is likely more elegant... I am probably in the minority camp in terms or order of preference of these th...
Nice!
I have to say I’m a big fan of the 5172. I really look forward to seeing it in the metal. I think it would be a nice complement to my 5270... weekend wearer? Thanks Nicolas for the interesting comparison!
As a owner of 5170P
I'm bias. So that's my choice. Need to see actual 5172G before judgement but looking at the pics, it appears rather flat. ...
