my reply was poorly worded. What I meant was I'd like to see a 'lowly' watch like a 5172 with a longer chrono function.

Any reason why PP Grand Complication Perpetual Chronos...

...seem to be limited to 30 minutes? Even the new (and beautiful 5172) has that time limit. Maybe it's traditional, but it's not very practical. Would it be that difficult to change the limit to an hour? Just a thought...

Fully agree

That's why the 5905 is such a strong offering! Thomas

Of course...

but that is an Annual and not classified by Patek as a Grand Complication (perpetual). I would just really love to see a 60-minute chrono on a version of the 5172. I can't imagine it would make any difference price-wise.

But

5172 is not a grand complication. Thomas

but bank accounts are relative : )

And my wife is working on her next IPO...

but we're not there yet : ) Besides, far too thick for my taste even if I had the cash.

An IPO or two might get you this:

5959p ...  

Beauty...

 
 By: mdg : February 2nd, 2020-18:09
but I am partial to the 5950...either way, pricey : )

Tradition alone, IMO.

I do wish they were longer, making the chrono complication much more useful.

Or a three dial

version to afford 12 hours. Curious why they do not do it on a dress watch.
