Patek Philippe

Before going for a part exchange in Paris. Good bye beauty, but I needed some more substance in my life. ...  

See if I can find time to pass by Macedo’s shop too.

So long as you have no regrets and are happy. That's what is important. Good luck. Geross 😊

The way these “sports” watches are moving makes a lot of sense to trade for more upscales PPs. Will post for sure as soon as it’s on the wrist.

I can say that it is a watch that has not been very appreciated in this forum. I absolutely loved it from the first time I laid eyes on it and tried it on. So clean so sharp so balanced so subtle. The perfect modern PP ( pour moi en tout cas)

What a fabulous chrono. The softness of the pushers leave no distance at all to the Dato which I operated yesterday.. ...  

I want another strap though. Any suggestions? Less formal than the shiny alligator.🙃

I recall I immediately changed the boring strap that came with this one (a Gondolo) with a shiny red one, chosen among what Patek had in stock...it might also match your dial, among several other options, looking much more fun and less formal ;-) Cheers. ...  

I think I’d stay with some blue tones for the 5170. Maybe with some black stitchings.

I have a flight from Orly at 9:30 if you send me a pm with an address for an apero I can be there in max 1 hour maybe less.

Curious to see what's coming, looks promising...

good luck on your trade and do show us the incoming

Did you have one as well if I remember correctly? Really difficult to catch that dial in the shop with all these spots. ...  

An excellent exchange! The 5170P is phenomenal. I love mine. Don't mind I share a pic of mine in more "natural" light ...  

Some natural light here too. But whatever you do doesn’t reflect the real thing. This is what is so gorgeous about these well made things. What do you think about the strap btw? ...  

Caught up in horological talk almost missed my plane. The dial played out nicely in the taxi and you can sense the subtle deep reflexions here. However as the car was moving I could’t get it completely focused. Nothing is perfect. Except that watch! ...

which is black and glossy. I swap it immediately for a blue leather strap and much happier with the result.

enjoy wearing your new watch baby often !

Watches are for wearing not for keeping in the dark vaults!

the 5170P is by far the most beautiful watch that i own. wear it as often as you can, it matches with any dress style!!!

I simply don’t like the strap and the fact that it gets so narrow on the clasp side makes it unstable with the heft of the watch Pleas post some pics of yours! ...  

No message body

I love the watch but that thin deployment is just not right for the heft on the other side.

...  

Now the hunt for an appropriate solution. Looks like I’m weating my wifes watch from this side 🤪 And the gravity pushes the watch to the left no matter how tight I wear it. ...
