5170p dial process?
So I am absolutely in love with this Patek reference, in fact I think it might be the most beautiful object ever created by human hands. Really is painfully gorgeous
But I never was able to get any info regarding the dial manufacturing process, it is not a fume or enamel dial, right? So what is it?

It's actually made by elves, out of magic.
Hard to believe, I know, but that's the truth of it
Many thanks for a great portrait of “the most beautiful object ever created by human hands with no schools of fish on the dial”!😂
I tried to look among the materials I have from Patek, but can’t seem to find further details on this dial…Let me look again as soon as I have a laptop within reach and I’ll definitely share if I have more👍 Enjoy!
I have NO idea what process they use or how they make it but I can say it is really stunning and photos do not do it justice. See below the nuances of how it changes colors...
It is beyond difficult to catch the nuances of the dial but the photo below shows a bit even if the quality is not so great 🙉🙊🙈 ...
Great picture
I totally agree, absolutely mesmerized by the whole thing, I catch myself staring at it for minutes at a time
it is an excellent dial...from manufacturing standpoint the process of sunburst isn't complicated much.
super simplified steps of manufacturing... 1) For a standard dial, the base dial (mostly brass or silver) is polished multiple times, so the surface has absolute evenness (almost mirror polish). 2) then it is multiple layer of varnish & lacquer. 3) Numera...

An excellent shot, of an important, stunning watch!
Whatever process was used to create this dial may never be known, but the beauty it presents is undeniable! I just put my 5170p on Tuesday, and was planning to post a few pics. But your shot says it all. How can such a beauty not be appreciated as much as...
I agree
Very underrated piece, I have been fortunate to acquire and view some amazing pieces, some of the most beautiful in the watch world, nothing comes close except the new CODE tourbillon( mock me if you will, but just wait!) This is really a stunning object,...
The richness and pattern of this blue dial are amazing 🤩
The subtle diamond 💎 hour markers make the dial perfect ! With the platinum case, good heft is provided and overall this piece is awesome in the metal ! Enjoy it often no matter the manufacturing process of the deal.
I don’t know much about dial manufacturing but I know what I like.
and the dial on the 5170P is to die for. The 5170P was on my radar for a long time and I was fortunate to finally get a new one. Underrated is an understatement and it is fairly rare, this is one that will be very sought after as time goes on and the pric...
