5270G/014 blue dial (with chin) vs 5270G/019 blue dial (no chin)
May 04, 2018,11:50 AM
Hello everyone and happy Friday! I am looking into buying the PP 5270G blue dial and want to ask your thoughts. First question: Is the blue dial on the 014 and the 019 the same blue dial or are they different? Second question: This one is probably asked a lot, the 014 has the chin while the 019 does not, I know the chin is not as popular among the purists but to what extent? Not to talk prices but using percentages, what percentage of price would you deduct for the chin 014 if anything? Third question: Would you all vote on which model you like the best the first, second (chin) or third iteration.
Thank you in advance for your help and have a great weekend...Jim

Thanks Langeholic

Your reply was exactly what I was looking for from the group. No offense to NT. But I already know some purists are negative about the chin. You make excellent points that makes me more comfortable buying the chin model should I move forward. You said the...
I hate to be provocative...

but... are we saying a design no one or virtually no one admires is the one he should get... because it had a limited run --limited because Patek recognized virtually no one liked it and quickly corrected it? If yes, let's say that.
Imho..

When you come to resell some day, the 019 will be that much easier to let go since it is more commonly accepted (even Patek think it is hard to sell hence they introduce 019 soon after)... the advantage when resell of the 014 will come much later maybe 20...
The liquidity of 019 will be higher for sure in the coming years.

But due to higher production numbers, the price will remain fairly stable based on supply and demand, unless demand really outstrips supply, which I don’t see happening for this model anytime soon. The scarcity of the 014 will eventually support its price...
Thanks to everyone

For you honest input and for pointing out some of the differences I didn’t realize. The pricing I can get on the 014 is much better than the 019 and I am a long term buyer willing to wait for the 014’s eventually comeback because of it’s limited run...Jim...
I would do the same...

It’s an ugly duckling in the short term. I spoke with someone in PP who felt the same. Time will tell.
For what it is worth....

I recently spoke to two independent reputable, Patek secondary dealers and the first timepiece they suggested buying (despite not having in stock) was the 5270 with “chin” in any dial colour. This was totally unsolicited nor do they know what is in my col...
The 019 is equally short in production.
By: Pythagoras : May 7th, 2018-16:08
the 019 was released to correct the 014, and only after a year, Patek discontinued the 019. So I think, it would be wrong to assume that the 014 is fewer than the 019.
I believe the 019 run was longer...
By: Langeholic : May 24th, 2018-17:33
if I am not mistaken the 019 was released in 2015 and only discontinued in the back end of 2017 or beginning of 2018. Despite that I imagine there aren’t more than 500 in circulation. The 013 was released in 2014 and only ever in production for 9 months o...
