Patek Philippe

black v. brown

I have the 5170J and needed a strap to fit. I seriously considered the black as the older pieces from the 40s had black straps in pictures and I agree the black would really sizzle on this watch. But, I ultimately went with brown. Next time black.

Hopefully there will be a new reference, ant not only alterations of present ones. But these are also very welcome as some do look realy good, sorry let me say: best, in one metal only, as the 6000 RG. Looovely watch! 37 mm under 9 mm thick ... that is a ...

My favorite is till J. Looks better with a black strap but timeless classic [nt]

Prefer the J

By: watch-er : January 8th, 2012-16:19

I also prefer the J and its dial.

I have gotten mine fitted with black strap

By: patekben : January 8th, 2012-16:52

Looks very classic. For some reason Patek is now using brown straps with R and J, but I think black contrasts better with R or J.

With the 2 subdials at 3 and 9 rather than just under this line,

I would go for it. Best, Nicolas.

It's not technically possible with this calibre, that would mean a new calibre

By: Dje : January 9th, 2012-02:25

Hi Nicolas, As it is not possible technically to change it on this calibre, and I don't imagine them making a new manual wind chronograph calibre to modify that only, don't wait for it. Order your 5170J right away! See you soon. Dje

everyone is waiting for the G

By: porter505 : January 9th, 2012-02:02

i was told by the sales so J is still on the window

5170j was traditional

By: watch-er : January 9th, 2012-12:26

per the press relesae. It will interesting to see if they make it in different metals. The price sure will be high. Better to grab a J now while you still can.

Prediction I don't have, but hopes: no change on 5711 and a blue dial 5124G! nt

By: Dje : January 9th, 2012-02:27

nt

5711

By: porter505 : January 9th, 2012-06:03

i heard that 5711 will change dial color as similar as the lady nautilus style.

Is it good news or bad news?

By: Greenwatch : January 9th, 2012-06:35

For me as I am getting the 5711 soon... Thanks for sharing.

Meaning more dial choices?

By: daytonaman799 : January 9th, 2012-16:11

Or do you mean they are changing the color again?

more dial choices

By: porter505 : January 11th, 2012-19:50

5711get more dial for choices, 5960P/R have a new dial face too, 5726 maybe get a bracelet

My prediction (hope): 5960G, silver dial [nt]

Ive been told a 5004 replacement is a sure thing

By: darma : January 10th, 2012-01:32

This year and on the 5711 the horizontal strips on the dial will be a little bigger and as a result the reference 5711 will be dropped and given a new reference. Regards Darma
