My favourite was the 5370, by a mile. Absolutely love that one.

Of the rest my favourites are the 5990, 5930, 5524 and 5170, all for different reasons. If I was to choose one it would probably be the 5990. However I already have a 5980, so if I wanted something dressier I might go with the 5170 / 5930, or if I wanted something more casual the 5524.

The new 5230 is really nice too, but I prefer the 5930 if I was getting a world time watch. The 5930 is quite thick though.

Gotta say that 5170 looks tempting

The 5170 is beautiful. It was just a display piece that my AD had in their exhibition of the new Basel releases. I have tried on a working 5170 and the chrono pushers feel amazing.

locutus49 · 22 November 2016, 03:16 AM

I like the first one best.

lapince · 22 November 2016, 04:01 AM

Very cool selection

Tourbeon · 22 November 2016, 04:09 AM

5990 looks great! Ofcourse the 5711 is classic.

Great selection of watches

ap1 · 22 November 2016, 05:51 AM

Wow to see them all together. 5170 for me

texex91 · 22 November 2016, 06:46 AM

Looks like time well spent indeed.

incontrol · 22 November 2016, 08:13 AM

That 5170 looks fantastic. For casual, I really like the 5164 on your wrist.

wow, you tried on some excellent models. was the 5170 the G or R?

RussW · 22 November 2016, 08:27 AM

Thanks for all the comments guys. For a bit of context, my AD hosted an afternoon of drinks and canapés to view the current collection (barring the high end grand complications - the celestial and a 5204 were the most expensive watches on display). Fantastic afternoon and great opportunity to try all my favourite Pateks

It was the G. The R was there and it is equally as good / better looking than the G, depending on your taste in gold!

The 5370 is so damn cool.

Hairdude1 · 22 November 2016, 11:39 AM

Awesome

gaaudim · 22 November 2016, 10:45 PM

Does your AD have all these in stock? Just amazing to try them at one go and find out which one or ones to get for next...

Work Now Wine Later

yoast · 22 November 2016, 11:09 PM

How would you compare the case size of the 5164 vs 5990?
Are they very similar in width and thickness?
Thanks

The 5990 is thicker due to the added chrono complication, but it's not overly thick. The 5164 also has the rubber strap so there is no doubt it's more comfortable.

Has there been a 5370 incoming here? Everyone loves it but don't seem to remember one coming in

Hamish owns one, if I'm not mistaken.

Well if he does that doesn't make a lot of people who got what is supposed to be, according to many, not sure I would really agree, the best watch Patek has made in the last 10 years, it's a great chrono but for less cash I'll take a 5270 any day of the week, but for those who love chrono only watches and who have the means it is a serious contender, which is why I am surprised that we don't have a few here

I think the only reason we don't see more is the cost. At £180k I'm not getting one any time soon, and it's my favourite Patek.
