25350 ... Or 5 times 5070 :-)

And although this is ofcourse my personal opinion .... this reference is imo the most beautiful Chronograph Patek made in several decades.

Much better than the 5170 and others that followed
And yes, I prefer it over a 5970












Pictures I took a few years ago, and no ... unfortunately these are not all mine

It's a gorgeous model indeed and, with a few other references, it's the kind of watches we would like to gather the whole versions of. I imagine that the 2nd Platinum version is the London edition...

Thanks for the amazing picture!

I love the look but on the wrist I found them just a tad overpowering. I own the 5172 which wears just right for me. Now of course - many prefer the horizontally centred subdials of the Lemania base, myself imcluded.

No exactly the same and not a saatchi edition

Love the look, just wish it was a 40mm timepiece.

I agree the watch would have worked better at 40mm. The 42mm case is also large for the movement size and the watch would be big on most wrists. Patek was ahead of the curve on the then trend to larger watches with this reference.

I like it but something doesn't sit well with me for some reason, can't put my finger on it.
