I would wait also for 2011....... And for me the 5170j.......
Left me a bit cold when I handled one......I also much prefer the 5070..........
When I handled the 5170J I also handled the 5396Rg with the new dial and for me that was the one to have between the two........
However I do see the charm of the 5170J and will look forward to seeing it in other colours....
Good luck with your choice.....

5170J take it or leave it????
Hi Folks, As a big fan of PP and owing several pieces including 5970p,5070 and etc.If you are given a chance to own a 5170J,what would your be your opinion?Grab it or leave it? All opinion wellcome. Thanks. BHK9
leave it
the advanced design of the movement makes me want to buy it but I do not like the Roman Numerals on the dial much so I am inclined to decline on this one. The 5970 and 5070 have a lot more character IMHO.
I like the new movement BUT
the Heart scale surprised me as at 25b/mn, you are in emergency unit so this original scale does not fit me. my 2 c, Cheers, Patrickh
HI Patrick, don't understand what you are saying...
Can you elaborate a little, thanks! Nien
a pulsometre is a scale to mesure
the human pulse: Normal pulse at rest is around 50-60b/min. When you are in activity or when you make some sport, the pulse increase so it is important to follow it and to know if you are not at cardiac risk: Max is 220 minus age in years. For ex at 50 y....
I had the chance to handle the new Patek chrono recently
Certainly a beautiful movement. But I have to say that in regard to tactile feel of winding and pushers (very important to me in a high end manual chrono), it fell short compared to some other great chronos, namely the Datograph and 5070 (especially the f...
take it
I like it a lot I would prefer the 5070 like most of you know but that wasn't the question If you can afford one of each ... why not ? Anyway, I would. I would probably want the 4 different 5070's but if there was money left for a fifth one I would defini...
leave it
I have not been a huge fan of the 5070/5170, especially at that price point. Just really doesn't do much for me. Yes a very nice watch by a superb company but for that amount of money, I would look at other models!!
If you like it, why not taking it? ...
Hello, my friend, As you already own the 5070 and its perpetual sister, why not getting this 5170? If you love it, I don't see the reason why you should not get it. The colored gold? In this case, wait for next year or 2012, it may soon come in white meta...
I'm alone here..
But I prefer the 5170 to the 5070. I realy am drawn to its classic styling. I must include the substantial caveat that I have not seen the 5170 in the metal yet, but barring any unforeseen change of heart when it's on my wrist, I will have one someday. No...
take it or leave it?
since u have the 5970 and the 5070 . u shouldn't be taking it! Personally I think the 5070 is a nicer piece. Just my two cents worth. Henry Hoe
Hard to pull the trigger.....
Hi Folks, Looking from the feedbacks/respond,i would say more are against then taking it. But i have decided to try it personnally before i make the final decision.....just like the old saying--let's see if he talks to me..LOLOLOLO. Thanks for all the inp...
