Celebrating 10th anniversary with my 5170 G.
Released during the "bigger is better" days ,the 5170 is a watch that was definitely ahead of its time.
Nowadays the watch world would go crazy over a 39 x 11 mm chronograph with a strong reminiscence to the brand's glorious past !!
I always liked this version with the Breguet numerals and the pulsation scale.
Lots have been said about the movement : I still feel that this has a gorgeous architecture...
...and is very well finished when looking close.
As this is definitely a keeper,now on for the next 10 years !!!
Best,
Gerard

Always thought this was the best version of that great reference
(Though on the right day you could convince me of the original J with the applied Roman XII)
This is a truly special watch.
First PP manufacture caliber chrono. Breguet numerals. Size. Pulsation dial. Beautiful movement with just enough decoration to make it interesting but not so much that it looks too ornate. It was hard to follow 5070 (which I love but it’s too large for my...
…how many of us have dreamt of a time machine
for no other reason than to purchase watches (!)
Thanks Gerald for the lovely photos !
The applied brequet numerals look fantastic with 3D effect ! The strap matches the dial well. Is it gray color in the metal ?
Thanks, I use pretty basic equipment.
Most important is to control light and reflections.
Beautiful watch
