Patek Philippe

If you already own 5970 ? Will you want the new 5270 ? If yes, why ? I have only seen pictures of this model, but somehow, I still think 5970 rules if to compare with the latest.

What is your take ?

The new 5270 does look nice, but I really don't like the leap year and the day/night indicators.  The overall 5970 layout is more classic and something I much prefer.

The 5270 just leaves me with a cold impression.  It just doesn't have the warmth of the classic 5970.

I would order one without doubt

Both are wonderful, but I prefer the 5270 somewhat over the 5970 on the grounds that it has a less clutterred dial, is slightly more modern looking, and has a Patek movement.

Hi,

I've still not seen the 5270G to know if I like it as much (or more) as the 5970P, one of the best memories of a watch on my wrist ever!

All that said, whatever the result I will not order it, but that's another story.

Cheers

ps: I would be very happy with a 5170J.

Yes. the are different. The 5970 is the last of the perpetual chron with the lemenia movement whereas the 5270 is Patek first in house perpetual chron movement. Size wise the new 5270 is just slightly smaller and dial not so cluttered.

1mm, but looks 2-3mm bigger as the 5970 looks like 39mm if u ask me

It looks very similar to Longines Master Collection chrono... IMO. 

So, I will NOT order it for sure.

Also the AM/PM and leap year indicators lost me.

You have no idea when will be the next leap year. Is it going to be next year ? or the year after ? When ?

Cheers

Jim

I will be honest with you: i prefer the charm of the 5970. I found the 5270, even if it is a great watch, less subtle with bold hands and indexes. Morevoer the less busy dial makes it less complex.

But the overall look of the 5970 is even more alluring.

And in platinum, for me, as I totally love its black stunning dial.

Without any hesitation.

Best,

Nicolas.

if you have a 5970 or a 3970.... why bother?  Unless, of course you've just got to have one of each.

Personally, I don't want the 5270 because I have that base already covered.

Without question, it will be a huge success amongst collectors.

2 very different styles, I prefer the simpler minimalist style 5270, much easier for my eyes.  The 5970 with so much markings on the dial just strain your eyes so much.  I do not have either but would go for 5270 if I have a choice.  Some people like baroque style, some like minimalist but 5270 has an inhouse movement.  If we want the tradition and PP DNA, should go back to 3970.

I prefer the 5970 over the 5270. I have the 5970 and would certtainly buy a 5270 if money were no concern.

I have them both and love them both !

Congrats Macfever. I too would like to have both! I am looking for the 5970P with the black dial, which I think looks sufficiently different from the silver dial of the 5270G.

In fact, I had 2 AD's calling me recently about them. I think that the high price is just too high, so I had to pass, sadly.  It's a sad time for collectors who were used to the old prices and old ways of doing business.  I'll simply enjoy the older versions with pride...

The pushers of the 5270 are a big improvement over the 5970 !

I ha the pleasure of looking at both and decided on 5270. 

Actually love mine so much that i will buy the next metal that will come out.

It is the first completely in-house chrono perpetual in over two decades. 

To me 5970 (I love my 5970P) is noble, maybe the movement of 5270 is a positive evolution but I am not a fan of the design...case of 5970  (not that nice, only bigger and I don't like the crown). Maybe it becomes better with a different colour of the face and the case. Just my two cents!

I have done lots of thinking as I own a 3970. I think 5270 is an exceptional piece. I had the pleasure of wearing and using. As a collector it would be ideal to own 1518, 2499, 3970, 5970, and 5270. Too me they are all in the same league just different times in evolution.
