Chrono vs QP

[ryehn]

Hi all, I'm looking to make the move into my first Patek piece, and I have narrowed it down between the black dial 5170R and the blue dial 5140P . It is a watch I am looking to wear almost daily as I will be offloading some basic pieces for it.

Many plus points for each that I love, but I'd like to hear some input from the guys with PP experience in which you'd choose and why

5170R-010
- Manual winding chronograph
- Beautiful movement
- Aesthetically pleasing and balanced dial (rg + breguet numerals + black dial)
- Was initially hunting for a RG piece as I was lacking one
- Able to tick sporty + dressy checklist
- 39.4mm size




5140P-001
- Grand complication QP
- Micro-rotor selfwinding
- Platinum case.. the top tier metal IMO
- Patek's signature diamond stone
- Clean and traditional look, the dial looks amazing
- 37mm size
