The popular Patek Philippe 5170G is the ultimate expression of a very fine chronograph since introduced in 2015 as a follow up to the yellow gold model. In spite of a chronograph’s natural tendency to be sporty in style, in true Patek Philippe form, the ref. 5170G sits on the gorgeous side of the watch design spectrum. Let’s get a closer look at the Patek Philippe 5170G chronograph.
Several years ago, the flagship Patek Philippe replica chronograph was the famed to some extent. Patek then replaced the ref. 5070 with the ref. 5170, first in yellow gold and finally added the white gold 5070G to the lineup.
Compared to its predecessor, the two main differences that the Patek Philippe chronograph 5170 brought to the table were sizing and movement. The 5170 measures a smaller 39.4mm – significantly more restrained than the older 5070’s 42mm case. And rather than the Lemania-based movement powering the 5070, Patek fitted the ref. 5170 with an in-house chronograph movement.
The amazing style of the Patek Philippe 5170G is thanks in part to its slender profile – coming in at 10.9mm thick – and its subtle chronograph pushers that do not protrude too aggressively from the side of the case. What’s more, the slim lugs that arch slightly around the wrist also add to the gracefulness of the Patek chrono.
Inside the 18k white gold 39.4mm case of this fake Patek Philippe 5170G-001 sits a white dial with two counters, baton-style hands, applied Breguet numerals, and a pulsation scale on the perimeter. The pulsation scale is a throwback to vintage “doctor replica watches,” which were designed to measure patient pulse rates.
While the black alligator leather strap with the compulsory Calatrava Cross deployant clasp in 18k white gold is the good choice for the dressy Patek Philippe ref. 5170G, there are the quick-release spring bars that allow for easy strap changing should the mood strike.
Built completely in-house and printed with the Patek Seal, the Cal. CH 29-535 PS offers wearers a 65-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 28,800bph. The hand wound column wheel chronograph movement comprises of 33 jewels and 269 parts. It’s not often that top watch brands make clothing timers. But the replica Patek Philippe did it entirely unsurprised and they did it with such generosity.
