Agreed-the 5172 is neither modern nor retro, looks like it was put together with whatever spare parts were lying around the manufacture. “Anyone got any hands?” “Yeah, I found some thick military lume syringe ones over here in the corner”
5170P wins this any day.
Debating between 5172g or 5170p
I am kinda dont know what to do... Which will you get ? 5170p or 5172g I have seen and tried on both pieces before but i have not made up my mind ... Any suggestion? Pictures taken from the internet. ...
Which suits your wrist best?!
That to me should answer your question. One is 39.4mm and the the other is 41mm so they will fit your wrist differently. Other than that my vote goes to the 5170P for the following reasons. The dial on the 5170P catches the light very well so it changes c...
Well the 5070P beats every other patek chronograph
But in this case the 5170P,,,, Both are nice but the 5170 wins imo
I largely prefer the 5170.
More classy and timeless. The 5172 has a bit of #metoomodernlookingwatch.....
A Patek Philippe buyer is an assertive individual who can make his own decisions!
Such an important decision is one of pure personal preference and should not be put forth to a committee! Besides, if you're asking yourself this question, you're likely to be at least somewhat successful, if not very successful. Go with your gut, it's go...
5170p for me.
Unless you can stretch to a 5070p then it’s a No brainer. Hope that helps. M.
Without a doubt, 5172 for me
I prefer the larger case, Also I would love for the 5172 to have the same blue dial resilience of the 5170p. But you have to give and take with what you can. Movement is not a factor here, as both have the same in house movement. Please let us know what y...
I'm a sports watch guy at heart, thus I would go for the 5172.
Though if i was looking at the 5170 range, i would go for the G, again because it is less dressy and uptight
This choice is a challenging one and I understand why it is difficult ! IMO, having seen both in the metal, the 5170 has a...
more lovely blue dial and the diamonds are acutally understated. On the other hand, the 5172 has more interesting syringe hands and an excellent strap. Hence a tie based on the above observations. However, price aside, in terms of metal, I would slightly ...
I vote for the 5170p
I think it’s intended to be a far more special watch, with the gradient dial, platinum case and of course diamond indicies (which are very stealthy and don’t look like diamonds unless you look closely). For me it’s one of the best. Plus, I’m just personal...
Don’t buy either,
Unless you’re absolutely sure it’s something you desire. Wait till it’s something you must have, whatever the watch may be. I would make the same decision today. But that’s just me. Good luck with your choice. Sincerely H. ...
Have you seen both watches in person?
Personally I have only seen 5170P in person and I thin photograph cannot do justice to it. I will even choose 5170P over 5070P, which I find it overhype. For example, if I go to a gathering, two person wearing a 5170P and a 5070P, you can bet that my eyes...
I really wanted to love the 5172...
but I found the dial color quite difficult. Maybe I was spoilt by my blue Overseas I do love the pilot style of it though. As for the 5170, I like the versions with Breguet numerals the best. Cheers, Daniel
The 5170P is wonderful precisely because of the baguettes.
I find the syringe hands of the 5172 too military and out of step (pun intended) with the formal lugs. To my eyes the design overall is inconsistent and un-modern.
5170P for me
without a doubt. But the 5172G is very nice too. The diamond indices are very discrete and not shouty at all. ...
