The new Patek Philippe ref. 5370 & its two predecessors
Introduced in 2015 with a platinum case and a Grand Feu black enamel dial (ref. 5370-001 ), Patek Philippe's Split Seconds Chronograph ref. 5370 now comes in a rose gold case with a Grand Feu brown & beige enamel dial (ref. 5370R-001 ). It replaces in the...
The most beautiful of W&W2025
By far This patek is imo the most beautiful That’s super complicated VC the most interesting And the zenith cal135 the most surprising
It’s too early for me
to have clear ideas like you have. As far as I’m concerned, I’m unsure which model(s) will really remain in my mind. But this one is well worth looking at, no doubt about it.
Maybe I would too, because of the smaller size,
but I also like the aesthetic of this one. Have a nice weekend, Emmanuel credit: k2luxury ...
A friend has the black version and I've worn it...
..super nice. But why isn't Patek making thinner movements? The 5950A posted recently is only 10.15 thick.
From what I’ve found online:
Caliber CHR 27-525 PS, which powers the 5950A, is 27.30 x 5.25 mm high and beats at 3 Hz. Caliber CHR 29-535 PS is 29.60 x 7.1 mm high and beats at 4 Hz.
It's difficult to find for some reason...
...but I also tracked down the 5.25mm calibre height via an old Patek press release. So why can't they make a version of this movement today just as slim? Like I said, I've tried on a 5370...really nice, but imho a bit top-heavy in platinum. It is as dres...
I don't completely relate to your last statement:
slimness seems to be more important to you than it is to me. And it's also sometimes the condition for some great depth to the caliber like in Laurent Ferrier's micro rotor, which wouldn't be as gorgeous if it didn't have this depth. There are certainly m...
Huge difference between 11.1 and 13.6...
...especially when in platinum as is my friend's watch. It is top heavy. Maybe that can be alleviated by a custom strap. My point is, Patek made slim rattrapante movements in the recent past, so they know how to do it. At almost $300,000, I expect a bit m...
This 5370r is one of the sexiest I have seen in awhile.
Love it and the vibe it gives me if I’d ever wear it
You had me at breguet numerals ..
But then you look at the movement and it’s absolute insanity.
Yes, a feast for the eyes.
And it doesn't disappoint in real life. Have a great weekend, Gary. Best, Emmanuel
The blue dial in the
METAL is amazing ! Here is my photo from this post www.watchprosite.com ...
Thanks for your photo, Gordon.
I agree with you, the blue variant is amazing in the metal (had the chance to try it on). But I'm also attracted to the new variant (rose gold is a big thing for me)... Best, Emmanuel
I personally like it that it's rose gold.
This metal means a lot to me, but I know it's very personal. Have a nice weekend. Best, Emmanuel
The execution of the 5370R dial is fantastic
Though a brown dial doesn’t work for me personally. I would love to see that beige enamel used on a 6196 variant in the future though.
Let's see what comes up next!
I personally feel attracted to this combination of rose gold and brown/beige dial. Have a nice weekend, Brandon. Best, Emmanuel
Emmanuel thank you for your extensive pictorial review and analysis of the 5370 reference. I have had the good fortune of spending some wrist time with
both P versions. I think both are pretty spectacular but the blue takes it to another level. The dial is for me as beautiful as it gets. The R version also looks amazing in a warm and inviting way. The 2 tone works really well with the rose case. Best, Pa...
Having been able to try on the blue dial 5370,
I really know how good it looks and can only agree with you. But rose gold always means a lot to me and this new variant seems quite stunning. Thank you for your comment, Patekova. Best, Emmanuel
Very well said.
Of course, it's my personal favorite. But this model is completely out of my league anyway. Best, Emmanuel
I'm glad you like it too.
It's my personal favorite, but I'm a colored gold guy, so it isn't very much of a surprise. For me the warmth of colored gold feels almost always more attractive than the "colder" tone of platinum or white gold. Just my taste of course. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you for this wonderful live pics, Emmanuel! ☺️
If I ever get to own a PP Split Seconds Chronograph, it will be this wonderful 2025 Model A/Ref. 5370R-001. For me personally, this vintage inspired enamel dial is by far the most beautiful iteration. So this is one of a few watches from W&W 25 that has r...
Thank you, Thomas!
I'm glad you like it so much, as I also find it wonderful, and I hope you will be allocated one as soon as possible! Fingers crossed! Have a very nice weekend. Best, Emmanuel
