A masterpiece of chronograph craftsmanship

The world of haute horlogerie is characterized by perfection, tradition and continuous innovation. With the new version of the 5172G-010 chronograph, Patek Philippe impressively underlines why the manufacture is one of the most respected watchmakers in the world. This model combines classic elegance with high-precision mechanics and is a real highlight for collectors and watch enthusiasts.

A vintage chronograph with timeless elegance

 

The Patek Philippe 5172G-010 pays homage to the traditional art of chronograph manufacture. The 41 mm white gold case impresses with three-stage lugs and finely guilloché pushers reminiscent of historical timepieces. The transparent sapphire crystal back reveals the mechanical masterpiece inside.

 

A special highlight is the rose gold opal-colored dial with applied Arabic numerals in anthracite gold. The syringe-shaped hands in white gold with a luminescent coating ensure optimum legibility – both day and night. The elegant appearance is rounded off by a fine tachymeter scale on the edge of the dial, which enables speed measurements to be taken.

 

Technical sophistication at the highest level

 

At the heart of the reference 5172G-010 is the legendary CH 29-535 PS caliber, a hand-wound movement with classic chronograph architecture. Since its introduction in 2009, this movement has been regarded as a technical masterpiece and contains six patented innovations that optimize the precision and longevity of the mechanism. Particularly noteworthy are:

 

– Optimized tooth profiles for smoother power transmission

– Self-adjusting zeroing hammers for precise zeroing of the chronograph hand

– Improved gear penetration that minimizes friction and increases durability

 

The chronograph functions include a central stop-seconds hand, an instantaneous 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a small seconds counter at 9 o’clock.

 

A luxurious feel with a touch of sophistication

 

The model features a hand-stitched, chocolate-brown alligator leather strap with square scales to match the elegant design of the case. The high-quality folding clasp made of white gold ensures a perfect fit and maximum wearing comfort. 5172G-010 is water-resistant to 30 meters, making it a reliable companion in any situation.
