5070G is the favourite piece in my collection and as this model is believed to being only produced in 1000 pieces in this metal also very rare.

I doubt you will find a naysayer :) Enjoy this great piece. Dave

Thomas, what do I think???

 
 By: amanico : September 7th, 2015-11:46
You just got one of the coolest modern chronograph. Not the horologically finest, the Datograph, is, the Duometre is, but the coolest, for sure. Huge congratulations and welcome to the ever growing 5070 club. Nicolas.

Fantastic!

It is hard to explain...why does 993 in white don't work and 991 looks gorgeous. Here it is the same. 5970G is not my favorite, every iteration 5970 to me is nicer. 5070 it is different...the G to me is the best...can't explain. Huge Congrats, a beauty! B... 

Damn fine watch there sir

5070 G is one of the coolest watch (if not THE coolest) watch you will ever own ! For sure it's the beginning of a long love story. At least, this is what I wish you : a long happy and peaceful life of love together ;-))) Enjoy it a lot Thomas, and wear i...

... its interesting to see how this model in this metal has such a huge success from such a wide audience. From the people i know, totally unfamiliar to Patek, to huge patek fans, this piece is loved by all, and favorite by many. I understand you when you...

And welcome to you on PuristSPro!

Congratz for your 5070G, this is indeed a great Patek model. Cheers, Mark

5070 in 1000 pieces???

 
 By: amanico : September 13th, 2015-06:38
The G was born in 2003 and discontinued in 2008, so a five years life. At 250 pieces per year, for all 5070, I am not even sure 1000 were made. The G and the R had a common life. Best, Nicolas

Production numbers

 
 By: Noblechrono : September 13th, 2015-08:52
I hope you are right. 1000 per colour is what Christie\'s suggests in their lot descriptions for 5070.

years

 
 By: Bruno.M1 : September 13th, 2015-09:39
afaik G was not made untill 2008 but 2006 and started in 2002 Red was untill 2008 but that one started in 2004

Dates for the 5070s from what I read

 
 By: Mark in Paris : September 13th, 2015-09:46
J: 1998-2003 R and G: 2004-2008 Pt: 2009 Mark

I think that is wrong

 
 By: Bruno.M1 : September 13th, 2015-09:53
J - 1998 -> 2002 G - 2002 -> 2006 R - 2004 -> 2008 and then ' af few' P in 2009 I'm 99.9% sure about that

no, G was discontinued in 2006 Nicolas

 
 By: Bruno.M1 : September 13th, 2015-10:38
Maybe a few left the manufacture in the months after 2006 but between 2006 and 2008 it was only the R

Ok, Bruno. After all, you are Mister 5070. ;)

 
 By: amanico : September 13th, 2015-11:02
Where did you get this information?

I'm sure

 
 By: Bruno.M1 : September 13th, 2015-11:41
If I find the search function on this site you will find many posts concerning production dates about this reference Try to go back to 2006 and 2008 Probably more than enough posts about it

Huge congrats for this stunning watch!

 
 By: foversta : September 13th, 2015-10:55
This version is my fav one... with the PT and blue dial. By the way, the strap looks a bit too long for your wrist on the wristshot. Fx

I think this watch, I mean the G version

 
 By: tempus : September 18th, 2015-15:36
is a iconic piece, underestimated and it will make every owner think: I got the coolest...don't need another PP. I know, I must, I will have one for sure! Best Tempus

congrats!

 
 By: chuck19 : September 19th, 2015-00:20
best decision ever... the wrist presence of the 5070 is unbearable! Cheers!

THANK YOU!! AND....

 
 By: thomaspp : September 22nd, 2015-09:43
Thank you all for your wonderful posts and support! The watch was a one owner watch which is quite special to me. Also, the papers for this watch are dated 2006 and I thought that was the last year of production, but I may be wrong after reading your post... 

congrats !
