First of all, who
said that I do not have 5170? Secondly, I have already reserved 5170P...
Am I joking or not? Who knows...
I think taking into account that 5905P is a Patek Philippe, it represents exceptional value. It's a relatively sophisticated chronograph plus also an useful annual calendar. In fact a clever combination. It was very difficult to decide between 5960P and 5905P and my solution was to get 5960/1A, equip it with strap plus get the more conservative design, 5905P in platinum. I was surprised about 5905 when I tried it but I felt my wrist can handle the size of the watch.
At the same time I love 5170. In many ways it is a much more sophisticated watch than 5070. At the same time, 5170 lacks some of the charm of 5070 and I hope that in the platinum version Patek would use some of their design elements in the case of the coming 5170P. I mean perhaps something from the case of 5575 or 5975, perhaps something from the design of the lugs of 5905...
All in all, 5170 is a fantastic watch. It is only a bit clinical but if the coming versions are spiced with some small elements adding some charm to the case, then the Future Generations will be crazy about this reference. Just like many of us are crazy about i.e. 5070P.

Has anybody of our members received a 5905 yet...
I really would like to see this and read about the impressions of the lucky owner! Best Tempus
Did you read Fx's review?
You can find it here if you didn't: www.watchprosite.com 1 It will give you a nice first experience from this watch. I saw it myself (though didn't wear it) and it is definitely a very nice novelty, whatever are its links with the 5960 reference. ...
Like said, I tried both.
In metal the watch is much better than in pictures. The printed chronograph scales are not heavy at all in real life. The big issue is; blue or black... In my eyes the blue is having more charm but because I have more watches with blue dial, I ended order...
Black for me, too!
I like the blue, but sometimes it is not easy when you look for the right outfit. The black one you can almost wear with anything you want to. And I really like the fact, that the apertures are also executed in black. Perfect harmony. Blue is very, very n...
I still would warmly recommend the blue one for you!
Why? It would make my black 5905P one watch rarer. Best, Kari
Just Wondering...
Kari, why have you decided to go for the 5905 and not for the 5170? No love for manual wound chronos? Thanks

We should ask Thierry
maybe he stops production after 2 pieces with black dial ;-) Best Tempus
