Best Patek Chrono Under 100k?....

What is everyone's thoughts? The 5170P looks pretty incredible but might be right around that price or slightly above. If you could only have one dress watch chrono, which would you pick?

This one just posted on Moda recently, great deal at $88k, hard to beat that. The dial is incredible in person.

Personally, my money would be for a 5270g, seen them around 100k on Moda, a lot of bang for your buck there.

Not including PCC, I would choose 5170J to fit the bill. Can probably get the J and G and be close to staying near budget!

5172G blue or 5170G black dial. I own the former and have handled the latter. Dialside it’s sporty vs classic. Case makes the difference. A little nicer on the 5172

I think the 3935a is a promising contestant for that title as well. Chrono, steel for everyday use, gorgeous dial, strap monster that makes it a great watch for dressing up or down, and the famous worldtime function.

5170P.

I also like the quirky 5975 with 5975P black the clear winner but above your budget. The other metals would work easily though.

If sports was included I'd say 5968A albeit slightly above your budget as well.

if you can bump budget up a bit go 5070P
If not 5170 can be had at a great price

I think 5070G is the right answer if you can pull off a 42mm case. Otherwise I'd go with a 5170 (G or R).

Absolutely agree. The decision to go with the 5170P was made a lot easier b/c the 5070 & 5172s all wear too large for me. (The 5170G pulsometer dial calls to me, though!)
