Gorgeous Elegance to be Expected by Patek Philippe
The latest in a line of classic and much revered menâs chronographs that was introduced in 2010 with the 5170, Patek Philippeâs handâ wound 5172G comfortably bridges the divides between smart and sporty, contemporary and oldâschool, while throwing in more than a hint of pilotâstyle practicality into the bargain. Not that this isnât in every way imaginable the gorgeously elegant and covetable timepiece weâd expect from that most revered of Swiss manufactures.
In fact, the 5172G just about has it all, from its 41mm whiteâgold case, with blueâvarnished dial and luminous goldâappliquĂŠ Arabic numerals, to its handstitched navyâblue calfskin strap, threeâtier lugs and intricate guilloche pushers. And then thereâs the CH 29â535 PS chronograph calibre, whose design incorporates six patented innovations; it beats at 28,800vph and, with the chrono function disengaged, offers a reserve of 65 hours.
Strapped to the wrist, this is an object of such beauty that you may not wish to remove it at all, but then youâd be neglecting the exquisite craftsmanship of the movement, whose lavish finishing â bridges with chamfered and polished edges, and CĂ´tes de Genève decoration â deserves to be lovingly gazed at through the caseâback glass for hours on end. Something, if youâre fortunate enough to own one, we assume youâll be doing very often indeed.
