5070 forever
5070 is an icon for Patek, based on the extremely rare model of ref 2571. Lemania based manual wound caliber. Near quartz accuracy (+1 s in 5 days for mine). Nothing compares to it. No spin-off references. (i.e., look alike references of 5070). So 5070 IS a 5070.
5960 is a creation. A creation with mesmerising dial-in-dial-in-dial. (I mean literally--I still get confused on how to read that big round thing). Automatic claiber with more parts than a 5004. Spinning off references in the future. (at least 5980).
So, 5070 is a Patek chronograph. Period.
Hope I haven't offended any 5960 fans here.

POLL: 5070 vs. 5960
Hey all, I thought I might as well throw up a simple poll after seeing Bruno's below thread: CLICK HERE Cheers, Anthony Please note: you must be logged into your account to vote as well as view the poll results
I said 5070
Since you didn't precise if you spoke about the 5070P...LOL Seriously, I prefer the esthetic of the 5070...It would have been maybe different if the 5960 didn't have this annual calendar. I'd prefer a 5060 without this calendar which kills the balance of ...
platinum vs platinum
I also pictured plat vs plat and voted 5070p .. I dare say I'd rather own the 5070p than the 5970g .. And I was recently complaining about the weight of Platinum on the wrist when being active. Blue dial and strap are mesmorizing on the 5070p .. its a ver...
Thanks Anthony
Thanks for the poll Ofcourse my choice is the 5070 But if those watches weren't so expensive I would buy both. I really do like the 5960 too (although I would prefer 2 subdials instead of the bulls-eye, but I could get used to it ) but when comparing both...

5960 to end production soon enough
Folks, just wait under a year until PP discontinues the 5960 and votes will a be changing on this latest survey.
no way patek will end it's production that soon
Nobody knows for sure but believe me, this watch won't be discontinued before 2015. on the contrary, I think a gold 5960 will follow
I love both...but 5070P is...like Bar Raphaeli...
by the way ........when will be started the delivery of 5070P ? and for how many years ? I also heard about 5960P end of production....is it real ? or not ? who never knows .... regards
Bar Refaeli is much more fascinating than the 5070P......
Hi, I hope for her she will be out there much longer too, but there's no beginning of evidence that the 5070 won't still be on the price list in 2015! Same for the 5960! Cheers Dje This message has been edited by Dje on 2008-06-06 07:43:56
Bar Rafaeli ??? -------- And more about the 1 year production
No, she isn't more fascinating Besides you French guys have a girl much better looking LOL " Melissa Theuriau " And to keep it watch related .. found this wonderfull pics on a Spanish site 'cronomundi' And concerning the production ; This is a mail I sent...
I know this is heresy...but...
Actually, I don't really think I would buy either one. As to the 5070, the dial is a really beautiful classic design... BUT to me personally a 30 minute chronograph is basically useless. That won't even get me through a typical business meeting and many o...
