In 2019, link Patek discontinued the 5170, replacing it with the 5172.

Up until the publishing of the catalogue that contains this 51 mm piece, scholars link thought it to be a unique piece in link wristwatch form. As the story goes, 10 examples of the caliber found within its case were produced, the majority of which were used in pocket watch applications, save for one sole example. With the discovery of this piece, the days of link that tale are now officially gone. This development ought to excite collectors of both Eberhard and Italian military timepieces.
On the blue ceramic link dial etched with wave patterns, some indexes fly high the link colors of the famous rings of the Olympic flag: red at link 2 o’clock, green at 4, yellow at 8 (as the date fills the space at 6), blue at 10 and black at 12.
