Patek Philippe 5370P.
Platinum case, black enamel dial and Split Seconds manual winding chronograph. What's not to like?
One of the few modern Patek dreams I have, along with the 5970P and a minute repeater such as the 3939 or the 5078.
Best,
Nicolas

I think they were just overpriced at retail, or overproduced.
The retail price always seemed ambitious to me, even by Patek Phillipe standards. They can charge insane prices for the 5373P and it holds value okay because they don't make a lot of them, while they made a bunch of 5370s.
Dream, nothing less!
I was very close some weeks ago from throwing in the towel and buy one! Luckily(for me), they sold it the next day…
A very very tempting chronograph for sure!
What's not to love in 5370P? Obviously not much to criticize as I see so many positive points in this reference: a very beautifully shaped case, a mesmerizing enamel dial, and a totally amazing movement! As you said with right Nico, the original price poi...
Very helpful point to highlight. I missed the effect of the straight lugs on 41mm case.
I’m more curious to try one on now, but that would probably be the deal killer for me.
Honestly I love it so much that I would have almost pulled the trigger
It’s an incredible piece I can only agree but these straight lugs with such a large diameter case made it a no go for me. You have no idea how I regret it as I truly love this watch it ticks almost except one key box 🙈😭😭
It was enough to be noticeable to me...
...a bit smaller/thinner and/or in white gold (or better, steel) and it might not be an issue...
This one is very tempting...
but I prefer the blue one - for me it has the most beautiful blue dial. ...
What do you guys think of this black enamel dial versus the blue enamel dial?
I think the black is probably more versatile and endearing, whereas the blue is more flamboyant and youthful. The black is easier to match with your attire, and a strap monster, too. Overall, regardless of dial colour, it is still a grail for most collect...
Enamel dial + applied Brequet numerals ! These combination
is exciting enough ! Add on the split seconds, just wow !🤩
Wish I would someday see/try on the black dial but I was very lucky to do so with the blue
And yes, the case shape is SPECIAL. The blue enamel was intoxicating and very deep. Electric! In the end I found the size to be a large end of what is acceptable for my wrist size and not likely to age well in blue. ...
Not convinced with this one
The lowered subdials and more importantly, they are not sunken.. gives it a rather flat look
