"Double split" refers to both the second and minute hands splitting, which is not the case in either of these watches. These are simply "split second" chronographs. To my knowledge, only Lange has done a "double split", and more recently a "triple split".
@@mohamedalketbi2326 eh. A casio g schock can do multiple lap time, has alarm function, gps, radio sync, solar powered, all at a fraction of a price. Yes name matter
@@mohamedalketbi2326 Well true, but Patek is generally smaller complication for complication and the movement is slightly finer when viewed under loupe - but certainly not better looking. DS and TS are very large pieces (beautiful) and quite a lot larger than the 5370P - infact the standard flyback Dato is the same size as the split Patek. They are all amazing.
Wonderful video, the dress chronograph is by far my most favourite style of timepiece. They allow us to be elegant at all times yet the chronograph suggests we are sportsman and perhaps a little edgy and dangerous. I just wish we would return to smaller size cases 36-38mm would be perfect. 👍🇬🇧
An interesting story is looking at how Lange and Patek punch and counterpunch across time. Start with the release of the Datograph, and compare it to the equivalent Patek at the time - and then chart the back and forth evolutions over time of each company’s chrono offerings - the two companies really do communicate very different and thoughtful points of view through design
Great pieces. Love my 5370P. Just to correct, neither piece is a double spilt, they are both single split rattrapantes. 5370P is also now discontinued.
@IDGuy, what's your view on the aesthetics of the partially sliced numerals on the 5959 vs the repositioned subdials and fully removed digits on the 5370? Obviously this applies to a lot of other watches too, and the trend seems to be away from slicing, of course aided by the larger modern dial sizes.
I just love the 5959. It is almost as if Patek has ‘borrowed’ it’s styling from Breguet with the numerals and Classique lugs. Such a beautiful watch. Yet another great video here my friend showcasing watches that we love to see. ✊
These are not "double split" chronographs. Patek has yet to make one. A double split splits the seconds and minutes. A. Lange & Söhne even has a triple split now. These are impressive, but just split the seconds.
I am ready for a Patek diver, in platinum, called "Black Sea." Should be a "hit" with Russian gangsters. 🇷🇺❤⌚ Oh sorry. Too Invicta-ish? Damn feel like a Russian troll now.👹🇷🇺
These are very beautiful chronograph. However, I don't like the way Patek uses demand and supply to increase their watches' price. So how about H. Moser next?
So how are partially sliced numerals either any use or aesthetically pleasing? The 5370P adjusts the subdial positions and simply removes the affected numerals. Problem solved and it looks so much better. Clearly Patek learned from their initial mistake.
@@davidb9531 Yes, there's always one who randomly calls others idiots for expressing what is a purely subjective aesthetic viewpoint. But since Patek designers apparently agree and have discontinued all the older sliced numeral models I suppose you'd call them idiots too. Clearly you're a successful watch designer with much better taste. And I know you're going to rush over to your Patek catalogue now and say "but, but, what about the 5524?", but that's the (very slight) exception which proves the rule.
