5970J…
I am offered this beauty… i have the 5270P salmon and was looking for a 5740 but could not justify the price so the same dealer showed me this one today…i fell in love… it has minor scratches (nothing major so a patek service wil clean it)… any owner feedback? I know this does not pop up every day, so thought to check feedback from experts here… i felt it is a piece of history… not cheap though!!

Very beautiful IMO
I am the minority. I like the 5270 more than 5970. I know the heritage, Lemania movements etc. Just like the case shape and dials better on the 5270. That being said, if you want another pcc this definitely get that neovintage patek vibe.
Wow! 5970 in any iteration is breathtaking!
To used the words of Mr Mayer, "[5970 is] as good as it may ever get"!
Please check out the 5970 buying guide published by Hodinkee on 31 May 2023.
J appears to be even rarer than P so if it’s a full set and the price is right, it should be a no-brainer. Best, V.
yer baby!-but prefer the 5270 with the ch 29-535 ps q nicer dial
do not like the 5970 blank space at '6' on the tach
As usual it is a question of personal taste, nothing is right or wrong! However since you ask our opinion...
IMHO 5970 is one of the nicest PP ever made if not THE nicest ever. As for me the size is absolutely perfect, it doesn't need any extra mm: it is perfectly balanced and proportioned as it is, I prefer the shape of its case better than the one of its succe...
I don’t profess to be an expert but I definitely am an owner. For me, the 5970 in any metal is about as perfect as a watch can be. Above all else it is exceptionally beautiful.
I bought my J even though I already had a P. I thought on one level that’s a bit crazy. Why not buy eg a 5370P blue enamel dial, which also is very beautiful and exceptional in many ways, But in the end I loved the J so much and thought it was so differen...
Owner of a 5970R here from new....
I find the size and look perfect and as others have noted already an icon. Any metal is attractive and if the price is right (all are expensive now) I would get it. Dave
I love your 5270p salmon. But this is on another level.
I’ve tried on the 5970G once at Wynn. They were asking 180. For a flash I thought about selling all my other watches to trade. It’s really a perfect watch. If the price is right I would def consider it. ...
You’re right. Not I I can’t find the other photo
I think I deleted it accidentally 🤯🤯🤯
Exceptional PCC.
The 5970 for me goes down in history as one of the most important PCC’s of all time. Not the most important but seriously up there in the top 3 for a few reasons. The 5970j is a very special version for sure. I do wonder how and if Patek could ever better...
In my opinion the perfect PCC
.. or near perfect Case design is exceptional with flared lugs, curved sides, concave bezel.. Proportion is very harmonious - 40mm diameter, lug to lug ~ 46mm, case thickness is ~ 13mm.. it actually wears close to a 38/9.. Movement is attractive, and easi...
