My brother rendered what the upcoming 5170P could look like for fun and thought it’d be something for my blog. Looks like something out of the catalogue, but keep in mind it’s not. Click the photo for high res.
I love most Pateks. So it would be cheesy to keep saying that these three are three of my favourite modern Pateks but truth is, I aint got nothing but love to give for the Yellow Gold 5059 Perpetual Calendar, the Yellow Gold 5170 Co-axial Chronograph and the Platinum 5960 Annual Calendar Chronograph.
The 5170 is a great watch. Notice how the co-axial chronographs aren’t aligned with the watch’s equator, but slightly below. A few watch brands tend to do that, I think it has to do with the fact that they are more unique and way harder to forge.
The glory from the 40’s & 50’s lives on inside a 39mm, modern yellow gold case for the 5170 co-axial chronograph.
It’s no secret I love co-axial chronographs from Patek Philippe. Here’s two siblings that still are in PP’s current model line; 5070 & 5170.
This is one of the few yellow gold watches a pale guy like me could pull of. Luckily for me, it’s one of the nicest watches around. Unfortunately for me, it’s one of the most expensive chronographs in the market. The rare, $75,000 Patek Philippe 5170 Co-Axial Chronograph in yellow gold.
One of the greatest modern Pateks around: The yellow gold 5170j co-axial chronograph.
