Display to size ratio wise the 5004, sadly I can’t unsee the small moment in the big case of the 5970, even if I love the Lemania heritage,

So for me it’s the 5270( with the chin), due to the bigger month-day and cleaner overall look of the dial. But to be honest, for me personally, nothing beats the 3970. The 5270 family: Best, Zsolt.
The arabics. The split second. The history. The movement. The endearing size and so called “hamburger” effect. It’s a quintessential Patek and one of the all time greats.
The others are beautiful. I am fortunate enough (very) to own. 5970g a 5270g and P and a 5004g. Of the three models the 5004 would be the last to go without a shadow of a doubt.
I completely understand your feeling concerning the 5004. It is quintessential Patek indeed and, to a certain extent, more full of charm and appeal than the 5970.
