Another poll of two fantastic watches, a sporty Rolex vs a classy Patek.

SWISSAHOLICS · 14 November 2013, 02:35 AM

I am not a fan of strap models and the Platinum Daytona is gorgeous!!!

HauteHorlogerie · 14 November 2013, 02:35 AM

5170G, in my mind it's just a better everyday and dress watch and more timeless tho the plat-ona is a beast and is very very gorgeous in the metal.

Tooomey · 14 November 2013, 02:40 AM

Two so very different. I'm a sport watch guy it's no contest..

kilyung · 14 November 2013, 03:00 AM

I'd honestly get the Daytona. Now make it a 5070P and it's a different matter (even despite the size and lemania movement).

Agree, but I'd vote the 5070G...but that's just my opinion.

datejusting · 14 November 2013, 03:14 AM

5170G any day. The Daytona does nothing for me; my white dial 116520 is enough Daytona for me.

My thoughts exactly.

SearChart · 14 November 2013, 03:17 AM

I like both, and I'd love to own both.
But if I were to pick one it would be the Patek.

dysondiver · 14 November 2013, 03:21 AM

tough choice , ice blue dial is stunning ,,,, but ,,,, the pp has it ,,,, just.

Nidal · 14 November 2013, 03:24 AM

Patek is a while different category. But I have to vote for daytona on this one

Sam Philip · 14 November 2013, 03:41 AM

5170g

Cc1966 · 14 November 2013, 03:45 AM

I'd go with the Daytona. The PP is a damn close second though.

Fiddy · 14 November 2013, 03:48 AM

Tough choice.
I'm sure you will be happy with either.

www777 · 14 November 2013, 04:05 AM

Daytona

Psmith · 14 November 2013, 04:07 AM

Close run thing... probably the Daytona, but could go either way really...

AK797 · 14 November 2013, 04:15 AM

Not crazy about either but would rather have the platinum.

00pumpkin · 14 November 2013, 04:16 AM

Not a huge fan of either but between the two I would go with the Daytona

Vipes · 14 November 2013, 04:50 AM

Easy poll for me. 5170!

enhamhale · 14 November 2013, 04:59 AM

Only like subs nothing else matters but rolex is rolex

FTX I · 14 November 2013, 05:02 AM

Daytona

woodsworth · 14 November 2013, 05:09 AM

I'd take the 5170 in this case.

Le Chef · 14 November 2013, 05:54 AM

I would get a Lange Datograph in pt, either new or pre-owned.

subtona · 14 November 2013, 06:21 AM

daytona

capote · 14 November 2013, 06:26 AM

5170

kmleffler · 14 November 2013, 06:42 AM

I don't think that you can compare the two watches. The PP is timeless.

postalworker · 14 November 2013, 06:50 AM

Platinum Daytona

kieselguhr · 14 November 2013, 07:12 AM

Daytona!

My thoughts exactly. It's like comparing a Ducati motorcycle to a Bentley automobile.

And here I thought both were watches and chronos at that. A Ducati is a motorcycle and a Bentley is a car last time I checked.

Sure you can compare them and pick the one you like. Taste is subjective and the comparison seems pretty close looking at the numbers.
