This reference is really something very special and somehow unique in PP watches. I had to have this killer-watch, that was for sure. And of course it had to be perfect. New, unworn, perfect case etc. And now a very good friend of mine and a real gentlema...

Huge congratulations on this great catch, Tempus. Yes, it is hard to put in words, but the 5070 is something very special. Enjoy! Nicolas

Thank you, Nicolas!

I am not sure if I remember correctly. You have one, right? And already for a long time? Best Tempus

This is a major catch

A chronograph I like a lot and, in this condition, it is quite rare to say the least. The story is cool and I'm sure your friend knows it will be well preserved with you. Wear this iconic Patek in the best of health Tempus and thank you for sharing those ... 

Indeed, super rare!

 
 By: tempus : February 1st, 2016-13:32
It was never worn, like new!! And because of this emotional and generous gesture of my firend, this watch is the one that will stay in my collection, even if there might wealthy hunters in the future. Thank you for your kind words, Mark. Best Tempus

Congrats. I am playing with my 5070

every now and then and yes, there's something special. Still I think that the movement of 5170 beats the one of 5070 but as whole, 5070 is a more interesting watch. Best, Kari

Thanks a lot!

 
 By: tempus : February 1st, 2016-13:36
Yeah, it is a very, very cool piece! I like the frequence 18000 and the big balance wheel very much! Best Tempus

"but this one impresses me the most. Hard to explain"

 
 By: Bruno.M1 : January 31st, 2016-05:43
Those that own one don't need an explanation ... We understand

Thank you, Bruno!

Good feeling to be part of this exclusive club Best Tempus

Beautiful piece. A sort of modern legend from Patek.

Hopefully the as-new condition doesn't keep you from wearing and fully experiencing your 5070. Congrats, John

Thx John!

 
 By: tempus : February 1st, 2016-13:39
I wear it, but with most possible care! Many of my watches look like new... Best Tempus

Great catch in a superb condition

And the gentlemen is one of a kind,Not so many people adopt that way of thinking nowadays . Enjoy it in the best of health. Best, Ahmed

He is for sure!

Thank you, I do!!!

Best Tempus

Yes you are a lucky dude.

 
 By: geross : January 31st, 2016-09:34
Congratulations to you. The collector that sold it to you is a true gentleman. I guess you become one when you get to own a Patek. My opinion. Cheers & best. Geross

Maybe you are right in some way, Geross

 
 By: tempus : February 1st, 2016-13:45
I am convinced that there are some PP collectors around who are true Gentleman! But I suppose not everybody of them is that generous... Best Tempus

You are truly lucky and the seller is a real gentleman/lady

 
 By: watch-guy.com : January 31st, 2016-11:17
This is an iconic PP Congratulations Julian

Absolutely right!

 
 By: tempus : February 1st, 2016-13:47
I don't think things like this happen too often. Thank you very much! Best Tempus

Awesome

 
 By: coz : January 31st, 2016-13:05
Congrats! I love the 5070. I had a J traded for a P and now thinking seriously of the G! Best regards

Thank you!

 
 By: tempus : February 1st, 2016-13:49
I am happy, if I was a little bit inspiring Best Tempus

huge congrats...

 
 By: Fricks : January 31st, 2016-14:01
... love your story too. I had the same feeling, even if i had more important watches, that one ( and the platinum) hold a special place. The dial on the G, the texture, its 50 shades of grey puts it in another league. Wear it in good health.

Thank you very much!

 
 By: tempus : February 1st, 2016-13:52
So you are a lucky owner, too? Best Tempus

yes...

 
 By: Fricks : February 2nd, 2016-13:55
... but i have a soft spot for the P. The G is one of my favorite watches

Nice!

 
 By: jonrus : January 31st, 2016-15:22
How difficult is it to find a new unworn 5070 these days?

With a fair price....nearly impossible

 
 By: beejo : February 1st, 2016-00:37
Best, Ahmed

Right!

 
 By: tempus : February 1st, 2016-13:57
A professional dealer would ask up to 25%-30% more minimum, I suppose... Best Tempus

Yeah, seems to be a lucky punch...

 
 By: tempus : February 1st, 2016-13:55
Thank you very much. Best Tempus

Love it!

and it has no overlapping dials or register loss as we see on so many PP Chronographs.
