5070g vs. 5960p?
Why does the 5070 seem to be more desirable by PP lovers than the 5960p?
From my vantage point, it would seem that the 5960p offers more in value. It is platinum, has more than one complication, is automatic, and has a PP movement. The 5070 is manual, has one complication only, and has a Lemania movement. What am I missing in my analysis?

CH 27-70
the CH 27-70 movement from the 5070 is 10 times nicer than the inhouse 5960. I, and probably others too, prefer a manual wind for such a piece and not an automatic. Look at other top chrono's from Lange, Breguet, Dubuis, VC, ... they're all manual. The ca...
another opinion
I own both a 5070G and the 5960P. I actually like the "warmer" more casual look of the 5960P. I also think the 5070 looks a little too big - or out of proportion. However, can't disagree wtih the comments on the movements.
agree with all statements above, but
but given the choice between the two - I find 5960 more attractive and a tremendous value (also when comparing to 5070)...although IMO these watches are somewhat apples and oranges - despite being both Patek chronographs. 5070 is such a beautiful classic ...
agree with WatchFan1...
both models are attractive so it's very difficul to say which is the "better" watch. but as for demand, there's far greater demand on 5960P. IMHO this's because: 1. simply 5960P is only 1 year old whereas 5070 is 8. 2. due to its size, there's limited num...
Comparing 5070 with THIS... ??
I have read many post about patek 5070, i do agree that this is a stunning watch, in terms of looks and its chronograph, and not forgetting its a Patek Philippe. But has anyone thought of comparing a 5070 with a vacheron Chronograph ?? What sets these two...
Is this a vintage Vacheron or a historique chronograph?
I can't tell from this angle. I love the vintage chronograph and I do think it is better than the 5070.As for historique chronograph, I find the pusher too square and 'cute' and that disturbs me alot.Otherwise, it is GORGEOUS !!!Overall, I thin the 5070 i...
It only shows...
...that categorizing only tells a small part of the story. Hi Wilson, first, your introduction may be misleading - at least I don't have any hard facts of orders or even sales for both models - and going by "visible" attention for this or the other model ...
