On the basis that I rotate my watches all the time and don't particularly like winders I would go with a manual wind for the reasons you have explained & especially if the movement is visible. If I
was the kind of person that would wear this most of the time then an automatic would become more compelling. Good luck with your decision.
Would you rather?
I’ve had as a long term goal to acquire a perpetual calendar chrono but have started thinking whether having a manual wind chrono and perpetual duo could be better on the basis that it allows for watches with a thinner and likely more discrete case size (...
Which watch?
A Patek PCC is the King's watch. I find occasions to wear it - though it would have to be the correct environment/situation. Manual wind chrono is outrageously appropriate in more circumstances. Tough decision. But I'd go with simply having the King! PCC....
Fair enough
I’m not making a decision now so not 100% sure which PCC / PC and Chrono combo I’d get but likely 5270G first gen or 5170J/R and 3940/5940G

You said everything: An exceptional PCC or a pc and a chrono duo...
I would go for the exceptional, especially if it is a 5970P.
Agree...
...if you can pick up a Patek PCC you are good to go. Otherwise, I'd go for something like a Patek 3940/Lange 1815 Chronograph...best of breed : )
I didn’t even realise I wrote it like that - maybe a sign!
I’d most likely get the 5270G first gen as I really like that dial but let’s see when/if the time comes!
I understand the 5970 vs 5270 debate
However, either one is a lifetime achievement. Only folks on a forum like this even can appreciate the fine/minute differences or preferences between those two references. The rest of the world doesn't care. Either of those PCC are ONE AND DONE!!
Just got the 5270P a moth back….
And i can tell you… it is an exceptional beauty, not to say a picasso like piece of art. ...
