In 2019, link Patek discontinued the 5170, replacing it with the 5172. Today, you can buy a 5170J or 5170G for a fraction of the price of many popular time-only sport watches – not link to mention at a discount compared to the original retail prices of these watches – which only makes my heart grow fonder for the relative link value they represent. For more on the 5170G, revisit our Three On Three, when we compared it to manually-wound chronographs from Vacheron Constantin and Lange.

The Historiques might be changing that too a trio of original 222s in each metal that is steel yellow gold and two-tone sold in succession at auction in May all for more than six figures. While the 222 link has link always link been rarer than its '70s counterparts only about 700 "Jumbos" were made the auction market never really cared much. But suddenly a design that some had dismissed as outdated felt retro in a cool way.
