Yes Pieter curious how you rotate and which you like reaching for consistently
For example, my Daytona doesn't compete well with my Pateks and often my wife has to remind me to give the Rolex wrist time. After all it was my first and has the more compelling story since it was my first big decision.
Best,
Robert
Stoked with the performance of my 5170R-010 😎
Dear fellow WIS, Just want to wax about the performance of my new (to me) Patek 5170R, as witnessed by the Timegrapher readings attached hereto. This is just exemplary performance (even better than my Rolexes) and, mind you, this is at half wind. Also lov...
Congratulations, Pieter!
And thank you so much for sharing this data with us. It's very nice to see such a watch so accurate. Enjoy this marvellous piece. Best, Emmanuel
Many thanks, Emmanuel !
Love sharing these timegrapher readings. Wish other users would post them more often, keen to gauge how other popular watches are performing. Cheers, Pieter
You make me realise that I don't even own a timegrapher!
It's a "tool" I should consider someday. Best, Emmanuel
Nothing but love for the 5170!
5170R-001 Very very happy with the rose gold! Congrats to you on your gorgeous black dial. Please tell us how the 5170 sits on your wrist in comparison to the 5270. Best, Robert ...
Thanks Robert, yours is a beauty, too !!
As far as the wrist comparison is concerned, I would say the 5170 sits flatter on the wrist whereas the 5270 is a bit more "top heavy" (for lack of a better word) and is noticeably heftier due to the additional complications. Furthermore, the lugs are dif...
Thank you so much for the comparison shots Pieter
The case dimensions don't always tell the full story - as you indicated (especially with the Lange Dato family) and it's so nice to communicate with a person who owns all of the target watches for the human/ergo dynamic element. I had a short, nervous exp...
Hi Pieter, great to read your post about the accuracy of your powerful (black dial) looking 5170R !
The applied Brequet numerals are so lovely ! Do you wear this watch the most out of your collection ?

Sorry for reverting late Robert !
So my 5980, along with my Submariners, probably get the most wrist time. Also have a Daytona (116520, black dial) which I am wearing right now as we speak. It remains a special and coveted piece in the collection with an iconic dial (even though legibilit...
Whoops, sorry for the late response.
This is the 116520 variant I own. Best, Robert ...
NP Robert, she's a beaut and looks lovely on that strap !
Only thing I dislike about my Daytona is the button style clasp (I have one of the earlier versions of the 116520), the later ones are so much better. Which one do you have ? Cheers, Pieter
Sorry for reverting late !
Last couple of weeks have been insane (not necessarily in a good way). But to your question, the 5980-014 probably gets the most wrist time. Cheers, Pieter
Your watch with rose gold matched with a black dial with applied numerals is so
DELICIOUS 😋! Does this beauty get the most wrist time ?
Many thanks for your kind words GLau !
Actually, the watch I wear most would be my Nautilus 5980 (as you can see, I'm a bit of a Patek chronograph nut). Though as of lately, I'm steering more and more toward vintage Rolex as my daily wearer. Cheers, Pieter ...

The epitome of Patek
My holy grail, the best pure chrono ever made. This watch could be the one and only watch till the Judgement Day. I have even sent the Letter to Patek to consider bring it back one day and yes, i kbow its impossible... Great watch and compagnion, wear it ...
Thanks for your kind words !
The black dial in combination with the rose gold case and Breguet numerals is indeed striking, and I strongly prefer the square chrono pushers to the round ones on its successor. Cheers, Pieter
