Gents, I have been offered a 5170P.

Jan 20, 2019,09:19 AM
 

The rumor is that they will stop production, Do you all believe it will be as good as the 5070P to keep in the long term.

not believe 5170P will perform as well 5070P at retail. Just my 2 cents

Easy get 15% off [nt]

Absolutely true. Many Pateks ....

already out of production but still do not command the prices (not necessarily a premium) many thought they should. It is totally illogical to expect the price of a simple time only steel Nautilus currently in production relatively higher than an out of p... 

Are you taking 5170P cos you love and want it or cos it will be stopped produced?

Also good in long term as 5070 as/for what? Cheers D

Don't bother; get a watch you LOVE

If you don't actually love a nearly 6-figure watch, and you're only buying it because it may someday be an "investment," there are literally dozens of safer and more certain vehicles for stashing your cash. Only buy luxuries that you love and plan to use,... 

So you keep it only if becomes rare if not then you don't

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : January 20th, 2019-10:57
Sorry I'm obviously missing something here...in the end your money your call it would be unfair from us to push you into investment that is doomed at very start as it is case with 99.9% of watches. Cheers D

Unlikely it will match the 5070P

If you fall for it then nothing else matters.

Good advice [nt]

Let me answer you with question

 
 By: guruvandergullik : January 20th, 2019-09:39
5070p produced for just one year with a maximum of 250 pieces made. The watch was sold out and impossible to buy. It sells in the secondary market at a big premium and always has 5170P produced for two years and is available at many AD as well as all over... 

Patek's de-lema-(nia)

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : January 20th, 2019-23:49
One could argue that the used Lemania movement was in use in many, many other brands too. Under normal circumstances an inhouse movement is always more favourized but for some reason, that I do not really get, Patek's fantastic (!) movement was not been w... 

Perhaps one of ....

 
 By: dmas : January 21st, 2019-00:06
the reasons is that since it is an in-house movement Patek can make as many watches as they want in the near time whereas a 3rd party movement like the Lemania is no longer available to Patek, thus make those watches a rarity and more valuable in the eyes... 

I am not sure that peopel knew that the Lemania was going to an end one day. That might be a view in hindsight.

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : January 21st, 2019-01:38
I would say that people did not know or had the slightest reason to think that. My guess is that the first chrono since 60 years was a bigger marketing point than the first inhouse chrono, which is a much, much better movement.

My watchmaker told me many had come in for service, so PP may be ending the run early for that reason.

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : January 21st, 2019-04:35
The latter is just speculation, of course. Watchmaker's comment was that bringing out a new movement wasn't easy.

When you say it is much better movement?

 
 By: guruvandergullik : January 22nd, 2019-03:03
How do you make such judgement? Is it finished better? Have you seen both movements side by side? I can tell you that the finish on the lemania is at least as good and probably better than the 5170 How any person defines a movement as better for worse mus... 

I am comparing technical aspects only

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : January 22nd, 2019-08:51
Movement finish never bothered me that much. It should not look too crude, that is all I am askig for. Movement design is certainly another very important aspect. Top of the list is an inhouse balance spring made from a metal alloy. Patek does not have su... 

Then we look at watches in a different way

 
 By: guruvandergullik : January 22nd, 2019-10:56
When you say: Top of the list is an inhouse balance spring made from a metal alloy. That is a bit like saying that because Leonardo used lead based paint in his Mona Lisa it makes it technically inferior. I feel you are missing a lot of what watch collect... 

I always thinking about the same thing..

 
 By: Fjan : January 21st, 2019-23:47
Take a look at 5711.. technically nothing significant, plentiful produced yet it is high in demands and selling way above retail. Compared to 5235, it is just the opposite.

I like my 5170P more.

 
 By: dr.kol : January 20th, 2019-10:22
But mine is not a standard version. Best, Kari

I would love to see that one!

Guess no diamonds?

Please! [nt]

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : January 21st, 2019-04:32

I gave a loose promise not to show the watch in social media yet.

 
 By: dr.kol : January 21st, 2019-04:39
Are these pages social media? I don't know,,, I'm simply too old. Best, Kari

At least you gave an information

 
 By: starship : January 21st, 2019-06:46
It’s a 5170p. You never mentioned it before, if I remember correctly (but I might have missed a thread or two).

available at many ADs, it will take two years to sell the stock...

 
 By: Peter : January 20th, 2019-11:12
.... and it is not and will not be rare. if you like it buy it if not better buy stocks. even deutsche bank might do better:: ))

Good one [nt]

 
 By: mo : January 20th, 2019-20:08

just for my understanding...

 
 By: mahesh : January 24th, 2019-02:31
may i ask which aspect you like in 5170 over 5070 ? Best, mahesh.,

The aesthetics

 
 By: 1WatchMan : January 25th, 2019-13:08
I do love the 5170P, dial, case and movement. But I don't like all the 5170s the same. For instance, apart from the P, I prefer the versions with Breguet numerals. And I'm not a fan on sword hands. The 5070 is gorgeous, but not sure about the size of the ...
