Reference 5172G-010, which debuted at Watches & Wonders in 2022, is Patek Philippe's most recent take on the traditional two-register, manually wound chronograph. Reminiscent of legendary historical references like the renowned Tasti Tondi ref. 1463, the model replaces reference 5170 that was introduced in 2010 and refines it with subtle yet highly considered details, most notably the triple-stepped lugs inspired by Art Deco and chronograph pump pushers with beautifully finished ends.
The watch is distinguished by its salmon-pink dial, fitted with applied white gold Arabic numerals filled with luminous material. The watch's vintage and subtly military-inspired design is further enhanced by syringe-shaped hands that echo the numerals. The result is a chronograph that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in Patek Philippe’s mid-20th-century design language, appealing strongly to collectors of modern yet historical timepieces.
