And yes practicality vs complexity. Definitely don’t need a 5970 to know what day of the week and month it is. The appreciation of complexity and seeing the functions in action, plus seeing the beauty of the movement as a “practical” matter can bring great joy. For me appreciation and joy are what watch collecting is all about. So, congratulations Shun!


Wondering do you have a preference between the J and P? (My present inclination is the P, although a very close call).

 Best, Patekova

For a while after I first became attracted to PP, I wasn't particularly interested in Grand Complication models. The reason for this is that he rarely uses even the chronograph function, and I thought that even if a perpetual calendar was added to it, it

So, the main theme of my collection was to enrich Calatrava. However, since I fell in love with the design of the complication model (5170), which goes beyond practicality, I have gradually become immersed in the world of complexity. And the current two

I must confess that Mr. Ptekova and Mr. Mike have also had a great influence on him.

Two PCC grail pieces Shun san ! 👍

I understand your thinking on the limited use of functions. Our horological passion is illogical during this digital age. Any thoughts on completing the 5970 set ?

thank you. It might be possible for us to have all four iterations, but there are other special rare models out there that make me hesitate. I can say the exact same thing about the 5070s case.

 
 By: anaroku : April 21st, 2024-06:40

Caramba! This 5970P is one of my very few Grails! In terms of class and elegance, it is hard to beat a perpetual chronograph.

+1 Dial and case harmony no longer present on the 5270.

Exactly my feelings.

 
 By: amanico : April 21st, 2024-20:59

I understand your point.

 
 By: Derreck : April 21st, 2024-08:32
I also would use the chronograph function only from time to time and the perpetual calendar complication doesn’t mean much to me as I know what day and what month I am in without a watch telling me. I am not interested in moon phases either. However, the ... 

that's exactly what you say　thank you

These are two wonderful watches!

Thank you for sharing these.

They are simply amazing. I Reid on the 3970 yesterday at WOS in Wynn Las Vegas. It was beautiful but I prefer the size of the 5970.

Two beautiful watches.

Whether you use the chronograph or not it doesn’t matter.

I’ve loved the 5970 from first setting eyes on it.

 
 By: Miles_151 : April 21st, 2024-13:55
The perfect PCC for me. Enjoy. M. ...  

Ay Ay Ay... you are killing me! ;)

 
 By: amanico : April 21st, 2024-14:11

Miles_151, your post really inspired me to buy the 5970. And I can't believe you have a salmon dial! It's an incredible watch

Congratulations

On acquiring these two legendary 5970s. Thanks for sharing the pics No watch is perfect but the 5970 comes really close. I haven’t worn my G for a while, here is an old pic ...  

I love J in any Patek...

 
 By: mdg : April 21st, 2024-16:56
...but especially in a watch like this...

In the past, I have preferred the G or P white models, but when it comes to the 5970, the J is very attractive. Even though he usually prioritizes R in Color Gold

 
 By: anaroku : April 22nd, 2024-01:11

R seems to be more common...

 
 By: mdg : April 22nd, 2024-04:44
...But to me, J is 'real' gold. It is the natural color. All others have different metals in them. So a classic watch (imho) deserves a classic gold : )
