Patek Philippe

When I think about what is my favourite 5270, I find myself torn between the 5270/1r, the 5270p and the 5270j. Each expresses a uniquely different character from the other but all three personalities strongly resonate with me. The 5270j came entirely as a...  

...nice that the day and month backgrounds match...maybe extend that to the leap year as well. Really special piece.

Apertures colour coded to dial is an awesome little bonus!

Love my 52701r and 5270p. I am comfortable wearing the P most places but mostly uncomfortable wearing the 1r in public. You?

My hand to god. My favorite. I have 5270 no chin, white/gray face. Yours is amazing. Thanks

Thank you for your kind words

Like yourself I was surprised but pleased that Patek released a J version (which I assume will conclude the 5270 series). The J is beautifully classic and discrete with its white dial. Your note about Patek recognising its past with this J release is insi... 

I get that for many (especially Patek collectors) the 5270/1r is a lot. Im somewhere in the middle enjoying the very discrete and quite loud pieces from Patek. So it feels ok for me. The 5270p hands never bothered me but I will confess that should the 597... 

...indeed an unusual and historically interesting choice, which has attracted further attention to J gold at a critical time when this color is once again starting to gain traction ;-) I won't even go into picking a favorite iteration here....but let me j... 

I must say, the 5270j was a stroke of genius by Patek. Look at how it shifted the conversation and made the yellow variant of all the metals so respected. Partly because it came last. Hats off to them

and in ten years time it will look just as good if not better.

and I hope you don't mind my asking - The 5970 is considered by many to be the absolute perfect modern Patek perpetual chronograph (perhaps the greatest ever). You have arguably the most beautiful special dial examples of the 5970: Since I know you only a... 

While I do like to collect the very best, I also have a wide pallet and enjoy collecting watches that I think have their own merits even if not close to being the best. For me, as a lover of PCCs, I had to own at least one of every generation. I wanted a ... 

I also think it’s worth mentioning on the 5970, things like the 24hr indicator and leap year to me are only useful in setting the watch. I’d love to one day somehow see that incorporated on the movement/caseback to free up the dial. Not sure if Patek will... 

to my collection. I narrowed it down to 3 choices. 5970 J - classic, warm, beautiful in an almost vintage way and the least common of the 5970s. 5970P - also somewhat limited in numbers (say 500 ish), bold but beautiful and perhaps most important, platinu... 

You are FAIR in providing equal attention to the different metals, just like a parent to his children The R to me is very attractive and eye catching. How is the heft ?
