5070G Havent worn this for a while...
Great watch. I bought my first 5070G in 2002, hard to believe it has been 17 years. I recall at that time the Patek dealer gave me a 25% discount! I just fitted it with a new Cordura Nylon strap.

Agreed, a bit big....
I do have a smaller wrist so it looks bigger than it is. I recall when the 5070 came out it was not popular because of the case size. In the late 90's early 2000's it was considered huge for a Patek. I personally prefer a 39-40mm case size...
Strap
Very cool strap! Is it custom and are you using the deployant clasp or a buckle?
Probably one of the few that I really regret (I had to let it go some time ago to finance another great horological project)
I had thought for long this watch was not for me because of the large case vs my chicken’s wrist but actually when wearing it was a spectacular though not show of and quite comfortable watch. In the meantime I had to let go most of my manual wound watches...
Merci Nico, you were the Vlad who put that one in my head you remember?
I remember that dinner as if it was yesterday. I had put it on my wrist and could not stop staring at it
Absolutely yes, if... things would have turn different but c'est la vie
I still love it and shall enjoy seeing yours from time to time…
Nice shot. Yes I remember those days also.
I think I got 25%ish off my 5070g. Wow was it that long ago. How time flies. I might just say I didn’t get as much discount off my 5070p. Those were the days hey??? Hope you still enjoy it as much today as you did back then. Enjoy. M.
It went to the right owner then.
Pleased you still love it. Another cool piece of Patek history. M.
