the 5004 would not get a lookin-this would be my choice for a QP with split second chronograph
Patek Philippe 5004P.
A watch which I would love to get, one day, IF ONLY there were not so many issues with the Split Seconds on this reference. If it was reliable, I think I would even prefer it to the 5970P! Best, Nicolas ...
Exactly!
This watch is gorgeous and I swoon over it... and I never have to suffer from its unreliability!
No.
My point is that because I will never own it, I will never have to suffer from it failing me! As J K was saying, this is a way in which it's actually better to admire the beauty from a distance.
As I recall there were some issues with the early 5004s. Then modifications were made to the movement. The earliest 5004 is #879,500. The watch you post seems clearly
to be an early one as evidenced by the blue/yellow moon disc.. Later ones are black/silver. Anyway, a great watch, although personally I prefer (and I say this as a former owner of 5004P), 5970. Proportions, comfort, tachometer and overall look. Best, Pat...
What a beauty...
I know many perfer this but I would go for it's successor instead - better proportion, better value.
Donβt worryβ¦
β¦ about malfunctions of the double split system. Never had any double split issues with my two.
I am in the minority
Too small diameter and thus relatively too thick.. and the crown is disproportionately large.. Much prefer the 5970 for case proportions
the als 421-diameter 41.9mmx14.7mm-https://www.watchcollectinglifestyle.com/home/macros-a-lange-soehne-calibre-l1011-a-real-treat-to-the-eyes-and-just-mesmerizing
the pp 5004-diameter 36.7mmx15mm for reference-pp 5070 chronograph only-diameter 42mmx13mm all depends on how it wears on the wrist.
The thing abt the 5070..
Despite all its flaws itβs actually perfect for my wrist.. haha
A thing of beauty
Even if I would never wear such a watch it is truly beautiful and perhaps even an icon in the Patek collection.
Harvey Spector (Suits) wore a 5004P in Season 1
Looked great! Perfect (case) size for a customer-facing professional like a high power attorney. ...
It may be disrespectful, but I have never operated the split-seconds function of the 5004P that I own.
Of course, I confirmed that it was working properly when I bought it, but since I have owned it, I have not pressed the button to eliminate even the slightest possibility of it malfunctioning. I consider myself an ardent but timid Patek enthusiast. ...
