Another poll of two fantastic watches, a sporty Rolex vs a classy Patek.

SWISSAHOLICS · 14 November 2013, 02:35 AM

I am not a fan of strap models and the Platinum Daytona is gorgeous!!!

HauteHorlogerie · 14 November 2013, 02:35 AM

5170G, in my mind it's just a better everyday and dress watch and more timeless tho the plat-ona is a beast and is very very gorgeous in the metal.

Tooomey · 14 November 2013, 02:40 AM

Two so very different. I'm a sport watch guy it's no contest..

kilyung · 14 November 2013, 03:00 AM

I'd honestly get the Daytona. Now make it a 5070P and it's a different matter (even despite the size and lemania movement).

datejusting · 14 November 2013, 03:14 AM

5170G any day. The Daytona does nothing for me; my white dial 116520 is enough Daytona for me.

SearChart · 14 November 2013, 03:17 AM

I like both, and I'd love to own both.
But if I were to pick one it would be the Patek.

dysondiver · 14 November 2013, 03:21 AM

tough choice , ice blue dial is stunning ,,,, but ,,,, the pp has it ,,,, just.

Nidal · 14 November 2013, 03:24 AM

Patek is a while different category. But I have to vote for daytona on this one

Sam Philip · 14 November 2013, 03:41 AM

5170g

Cc1966 · 14 November 2013, 03:45 AM

I'd go with the Daytona. The PP is a damn close second though.

Fiddy · 14 November 2013, 03:48 AM

Tough choice.
I'm sure you will be happy with either.

www777 · 14 November 2013, 04:05 AM

Daytona

Psmith · 14 November 2013, 04:07 AM

Close run thing... probably the Daytona, but could go either way really...

AK797 · 14 November 2013, 04:15 AM

Not crazy about either but would rather have the platinum.

00pumpkin · 14 November 2013, 04:16 AM

Not a huge fan of either but between the two I would go with the Daytona

Vipes · 14 November 2013, 04:50 AM

Easy poll for me. 5170!

enhamhale · 14 November 2013, 04:59 AM

Only like subs nothing else matters but rolex is rolex

FTX I · 14 November 2013, 05:02 AM

Daytona

woodsworth · 14 November 2013, 05:09 AM

I'd take the 5170 in this case.

Le Chef · 14 November 2013, 05:54 AM

I would get a Lange Datograph in pt, either new or pre-owned.

My thoughts exactly.

daytona

capote · 14 November 2013, 06:26 AM

5170

kmleffler · 14 November 2013, 06:42 AM

I don't think that you can compare the two watches. The PP is timeless.

HL65 · 14 November 2013, 06:49 AM

Daytona for me but for nice discount.....Cheers,

Both superb pieces of course!

postalworker · 14 November 2013, 06:50 AM

Platinum Daytona

kieselguhr · 14 November 2013, 07:12 AM

Daytona!

Art 1 · 14 November 2013, 07:18 AM

Daytona. Strap is useless to me.

jon_jon · 14 November 2013, 07:27 AM

Price wise, the 5170 is 10-20% higher in list price compared to the Platinum Daytona. The fact that the same movement is used in the SS Daytona as the Platinum Daytona makes the Daytona stand out less except that it is enclosed in platinum and fairly heavy.

As a daily watch, the 5170 is definitely the better choice. If you are looking for exclusivity, the Platinum Daytona may get the nod if Rolex decides to produce it in limited quantity.
