With a central chronograph hand and a 30-minute elapsed time counter, the Patek Philippe 5170G-010 combines functionality with sophistication. Equipped with a Caliber CH 29-535 PS manually wound mechanical movement, its white gold case measures 39.4 millimeters in diameter and is water resistant up to 30 meters. The hand-stitched genuine alligator leather strap features square scales and a fold-over clasp. Its ebony black opaline dial comes with gold applied Breguet numerals.
The value Patek Phillipe places on aesthetics and fine workmanship is visible in this timepiece. While many watches with chronograph functions look more pedestrian, the 5170 offers the functionality on an artful black display. Its elegance makes it a perfect choice for dressy occasions, but it can also easily compliment a more sporty look. The black and white gold configuration is complimented by a rose gold option that offers a warmer alternative, also available with a white dial and brown alligator leather strap.
The CH 29-535 PS movement is controlled by a column wheel and crowned with a polished cap, with a guaranteed power reserve of 65 hours (50 hours when the chronograph is activated). It features a chronograph hand, a seconds subdial, and an instantaneously jumping minute counter. A large four-spoke Gyromax® balance wheel with four poising weights beats at a frequency of 4 Hz. The chronograph-wheel bridge and the minute-counter bridge are designed to perfection, reflecting the aesthetic excellence of Patek Philippe inside and out.
The 5170 is worthy of the Patek Philippe seal, demonstrating, once again, that combining traditional Swiss watchmaking with modern design sensibilities creates beautiful timepieces that function reliably. For more information on the entire Patek Collection, visit patek.com.
