decision time
I recently have an opportunity to acquire a (1) 5070R or (2) 5159J at similar price level. Which one would you prefer? Don't tell me to buy both as I cannot afford it.
5070R is a rare sought after classic, discontinued (?) but I am afaid its size is a tad too big at 42mm. I also prefer auto watch with at least a date. Is 5070 a grand complication? Can anyone enlighten me on why 5070 has such good market value?
On the other hand, 5159J is a new model, very wearable, nicely proportioned, a grand complication perpetual with a retrograde date. There is also an officer's style hunter case back. Not as rare as 5070 maybe but it is a pleasure just to look at it from every angle.
Which one to take?

Read your own descriptions of the two and you know...
you've already set your heart on 5159. Follow your heart and you can't go wrong. Show us some pics when you've got your baby.
same tired excuse of
of the ch27 lemania based running out , the other cal315 will have alot more longevity. anyway, they really very different watch...one QP, the other chrono. one 42mm vs 38mm. me...i go for 5159
I already picked...
I gave up my 5070P a while ago because I just couldn't quite get used to its size and, more importantly to me, what I perceived as a beautiful dial overpowered by a giant bezel. I seem to be in a definite minority on this point, but I traded away what wil...
That really is one gorgeous watch....
... one that is on my list ... much better in the metal as well.
I have to agree
I second the sentiment from Steve - while there are rational reasons for the 5070, ultimately it is the watch that makes you "smile" when you put it on the most that will bring you the most happiness. I have been very tempted by the 5159 - it really has i...
Patek 5070, or 5159
I would go for the PP5159 without any second thoughts. PP5070 only a chorograpgh whilst 5159 a perepetual calender.Function with more practical. 5070 boost a lemenia movement n personally I think it is alot of hype. Omegas boost of lemenia movements as we...
5159
I much prefer the perpetual calendar feature and while nice, the 5070 does not really do it for me. I think it is a lot of money for a chronograph only model and I personally am a lot more fascinated with how an entire perpetual calendar can be fit into a...
No question at all..........In my mind anyway....
5070p is not only rarer and better looking........ Imagine what your kids will think in 20 years time?????? Just my thoughts......
Do you like chronographs?
If yes Miles' picture is quite convincing IMO. If not I'd choose the 5159! Cheers Dje
Enjoy it in your lifetime and forget your children...
Any thoughts of value, investment, and what your children will say, as somebody said in a respond, you should not consider. That is more a marketing argument from PP. You will not know what your children will think about watches ... To answer your questio...
I like it......Just let your eyes and heart lead you........
And just for the record.......My comment is not marketing hype.......... My watch purchases whilst are to please me I also consider what will please my boys when I am gone...... And I know which they would thank me for...... M.
Of course, we enjoy all responsibly if we indulge on watches ...
... as we choose and like the classic, the always desirable: jewellery ! My choice in that category of price would be the 5159 and this time even in WG, although I like YG and RG also very. I would say the 5159 has got the edge over Lange's Zeitwerk and t...
I agree.....
with you..... I also buy what pleases me and I also consider what I would like to pass on to my children..... Cheers
That's a tough decision. Buy one you know you like
or one that you know a lot of folks like and is no longer available. The 5070 is too large for me so I would gravitate elsewhere. The 5159 is a great watch, I personally prefer the 5059 dial, so that is where I would go. I consider the 5059/5159 to be a m...
No doubt on my choice...
5159. Unfortunately, this purchase of yours depends on whether you would want to go into a watch purchase with your thoughts/logically or with passion/emotions. After all, indulging in watches, for me at least is an emotional matter. What tugs most at you...
