The problem is that most โmere mortalsโ like myself will never get to see a 5270 โin the metalโ, as you say. So thanks for sharing these wonderful photos
what is sure, 5970 is gorgeous & I love everything about it except the price now ;-)
Usually I am on the other side of the camera when shooting a model ๐๐คฃ It was cool to see you and the parisian gang my friend ๐
I always wonder why the 5970 was more popular than the 5270. Was it because of the smaller case (40mm v 41mm on the 5270)or the limited number of years it was in production hence making it rarer? Afterall, it had a Lemania base movement whereas the 5270 had an in house Patek movement.
I never knew that the finishing on the 5970 was better than the 5270.
No alterations could make this better, although Patek begs to differ in this point ๐. Thanks for sharing this superb timepiece.
