Perfect watch

But the 5970R is more to my taste and the size would look better on my wrist.
Best,

5270R - What's not to love about this beauty?
By: Pretty Boy : June 7th, 2017-05:57
I attended a presentation of Patek's 2017 novelties last week organized by my AD. After I saw 5320G and 5170P in the metal, I wasn't entirely convinced by either of them, for different reasons of course (although I would prefer 5170P over 5320G). Yesterda...
Nothing

It is really a perfect watch in every way. The watch market is just not what it was a few years back. Otherwise, these would be very scarce and hard to get.
Cheers.

Your comment regarding the watch market is fair for sure, but there are also some particular circumstances here ;-)
I too agree...nothing
By: JBP99P : June 7th, 2017-06:53
though I could be considered biased as I have one on order which I have been told should arrive end of August/early September having sold my 5170G and 5960/1A to partly fund it. I chose it because for me it represents one of the best watches PP currently ...
Absolutely nothing wrong with a 5270r however,
By: Miles_151 : June 7th, 2017-07:11
In my mind and I'm sure in many minds here it's more of a question of 5270 V 5970 If I had to choose between these 2 watches for me it's a No Brainer. 5970 for all the reasons I fell in love with Patek. This said I love the 5270r very much and will do my ...
Beautiful watch

And particularly in that metal. One drawback for me: portholes. Same reason I prefer 3448 to 3450. But classy watch for sure.
Ahhhhh it all becomes clear now
By: Miles_151 : June 7th, 2017-08:09
That why you dislike the 5960p(boxter) so much. It's the Am/pm portholes. That makes sense. 😉. M.
I like them!

They are tickling my "watch nerd senses", a lot !
just a taste thing.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 8th, 2017-09:51
......for me, the dial needs to be an aesthetic that is cohesive to me. The holes are disruptive to my aesthetic. How are you doing? How is the patent coming?
Thank you for asking
By: COUNT DE MONET : June 8th, 2017-10:10
The patent examination report has arrived and according to my patent lawyer it is looking good to get the patent. The whole process will take at least three to four years before the patent document is in my hands. But I am hopeful and have already placed ...
Congratulations
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 8th, 2017-11:17
That is great news. Congratulations
That's a fantastic Chrono-QP reference
By: Mark in Paris : June 7th, 2017-08:20
and I must say that it is my favorite today if we put aside the 1518 and 2499. I made a review here if you want: www.watchprosite.com This is in many ways and also in terms of aesthetics close to perfection as far as I'm concerned. It is very diff...
5270 is a fantastic choice
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 7th, 2017-08:41
But like Miles and Nicolas, I would (and did) go for the 5970 in preference. My recent post went through the analysis. Ultimately boils down to what rings your bell.

Thanks, Ahmed.
By: Pretty Boy : June 7th, 2017-12:13
Strangely (or not), Miles also mentioned the case size. I tend to prefer bigger case diameters (40 mm +), although I liked 5170P on my wrist which is 39,4 mm. Looking at the photos, 5270 indeed looks quite large on my wrist. When I personally looked at it...
It looks good on your wrist
By: beejo : June 7th, 2017-12:34
Don't get me wrong,But I believe the 5970 will look even how I feel,But you are one who's going to wear it at the end. Best, Ahmed
If this watch
By: sham1 : June 7th, 2017-16:38
fits your wrist (and in the photo it clearly does), buy it as in my opinion, it is the best Patek for sale under £200k. For a start the patina on the dial is as close to perfection as a dial colour could be. The movement is what Patek are famous for - the...
Thanks a lot for your reply.
By: Pretty Boy : June 7th, 2017-23:44
Have you tried 5230G? I know it is 40 mm but on my wrist it wore noticeably smaller than 5170P with its 39.4 mm.
Jut checking
By: sham1 : June 8th, 2017-05:54
but did you say 5230G?? Is that not the new world timer in 38.5mm?
Ah that one!
By: sham1 : June 8th, 2017-14:27
I tried it at Basel and was probably one of the unimpressed few
Cheers, amigo.
By: Pretty Boy : June 7th, 2017-23:46
Maybe I have to trade the 911 for this beauty ;-).
Balance is what makes it so
By: Blesk : June 7th, 2017-17:50
I totally agree - just about perfect in every way. The complications are impressive, but not overbearing. The size and height are decent, but not bulky or flimsy. Even the symmetrical balance of the face is so even. I find the 3970 a bit too small but the...
I have a 5970R and I love the watch...
By: Dave G : June 8th, 2017-07:48
As others have noted, the layout, size and general appeal are great. I go back and forth on whether I prefer the WG version....certainly platinum would be top of list. Dave
