PP Tech may be the best answer to correct the issue (however small it is).

Thanks, Brett.
I agree that at this level of timepiece, we would expect it to be perfect.
From my video clip (especially after lowering the play speed to 0.5x or even 0.25x), you can see the hiccup of chronograph second hand happens exactly at the time of instantaneous jumping of minute counter.
That's the same in the video clip of the other 5170 owner posted in another forum.
Hence I suspect it is an intrinsic feature of CH29 caliber related to the instantaneous minute counter, just like the well known drifting of minute counter before the instantaneous minute jump of the Lange Zeitwerk.
I have sent an email to PP Geneva for advice and waiting for reply.
On the other hand, I would like to hear from other 5270/ 5170 owners as well.
Best,
Henry
