So now that it appears 5970 production has stopped, does anyone have a clue about the actual production numbers, number of pieces produced? Anonymous insider tips and second hand hearsay would be most welcome here
I understand the Patek 5970 (2004-2008) production volume is still lower than the much longer multi-decade production run of the strikingly similar (and beautiful) 2499, but I'm curious if anyone can add color as to exactly how many pieces may exist.
Personally, I was never much for the push buttons on later series 2499, 3970 or the new 5960.. those buttons usually snag on the sweaters and garments of the female companion I am disrobing
, so that said, the 2499 (1st series) is really the only thing that holds a candle to the 5970 for wearability imo.
