Specs

A rare and attractive yellow gold chronograph wristwatch with pulsometer scale.

*The reference 5170 was a milestone model introduced in 2010 and housing Patek Philippe’s first entirely in-house simple chronograph movement. It replaced the 12-year run of the reference 5070, the first modern Patek chronograph to be produced since the discontinuation of the iconic vintage reference 1463 in the late 1960s. The reference 5070 was significantly larger than the 5170’s 39 mm case diameter, at 42mm in diameter, and housed a Lemania-based chronograph movement modified and finished by Patek Philippe. In 2019, the reference 5170 in all case metals was discontinued and replaced by the reference 5172 featuring a larger, 41mm case with stepped lugs.

With a slim yet sizable case profile, the 5170 is rather discreet and wearable - a perfect watch for the office, board meeting, or for weekend wear. The yellow gold iteration with baton indexes and opaline dial presents a more classical styling than its predecessor 5070 or succeeding reference 5172 – perhaps the closest one could get in the modern era to a vintage reference 530. Stamped with the Patek Philippe Seal, the caliber CH 29-535 PS winds smoothly and beautifully, and the chronograph pushers have extremely satisfying haptics. The present example, consigned by the original owner, is offered in its original factory seal and accompanied with its full set of accessories - a rare opportunity to collect a discontinued reference.
