The Patek Philippe "MacNab" - 5070p. 5970p and 5370p
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 3rd, 2017-08:39
Based on the novel entitled “John MacNab” by John Buchan in 1925, the “MacNab” has become something of a legend amongst hunters. Explained briefly, it involves the bagging of a stag, a salmon and a brace of grouse within one day (between dawn and dusk). T...
Congrats Joe!

I buy your arguments and approach 100%. A perfect platinum Pated Trio. Simply fantastic! Best, Kari
Thanks Kari....

Oddly I see a MacNab in your future. 😃
Joe... Bravo. You corrected a mistake, that's for sure.
By: amanico : June 3rd, 2017-09:01
And a correction which was mandatory, since you got the 5370P. Now, add one, two or three Platinum and you have dream collection which will be hard to beat when it comes to Patek. Which other pieces am I thinking about? The 5110P you already own. The 5131...
.....i can see some of your suggestions....yes....
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 3rd, 2017-09:13
....5110P.....already done. ....5131P......I am hopeful. 5960P.....i just can't get my head around the 5960 as a reference. I am having lunch soon with Miles and he will bring a 5960P as he agrees with you. For me, I am not a big fan of teh annual calenda...
but Kari.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 3rd, 2017-09:47
.....you love the 5960 as a reference......i have never been a big fan. I will let Miles do his best to show me the error of my ways, but my money is not with him succeeding.
ooh.....i can see i may have opened a Pandora's Box here!!
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 3rd, 2017-09:16
Thanks Patekova........catching these three was a feat for me. As you know, I deliberated a long time on the 5970 and the metal colour. In the end, the platinum won out. But a MacNab can only be THREE...... and i defined my three. Having said that, both o...
i had a feeling that question might happen.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 3rd, 2017-09:40
It is truly difficult to say X is better than Y, which is better than Z. They all have very different personalities and offer very different things at different times. nahhhhh.... you are not going to swallow that, are you? Although what I said in the fir...
5970....
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 3rd, 2017-09:45
......because I prefer the balance of the dial more than the other two references. It has a more harmonious balance to my eye. I also like the case shape more. The 3970 is on the small side for my taste for such a complicated piece. The 5270 is a consider...
yes.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 4th, 2017-04:56
.....that is spot-on. When evaluating, i looked through the chronology of perpetual chronographs to see how they had evolved. Nothing has quite captured that magic of the 2499. Some get closer than others......
Huge congratulation, Baron!
By: blomman Mr Blue : June 3rd, 2017-09:38
And absolutely stunning trio! Best Blomman PS. This is why shop should always be closed....
When you hit...

you hit hard!!! That's what I call amazing mature collection Big congrats my friend One I still have to see live Cheers D
Thanks Mike....

.....we need to touch base about meeting up!
Genuinely....
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 4th, 2017-00:33
I try to plan 1-2 years ahead. This is the completion of the chronos within PP. 5131p is a target. And of course important to watch what happens with 5230p. Beyond that, uhmmmm.....
A big congratulations on the "threebagger"
By: watch-guy.com : June 3rd, 2017-13:34
I can see the appeal of having all three but this is a very special re-union for you Time to sit back and enjoy your hunting victims ( to continue the analogy) BTW I love the justification - you sure you were not a lawyer in your past life J
Correct
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 4th, 2017-00:31
Time to sit back and enjoy. Unless.....
Congratulations, Baron
By: Magoo : June 3rd, 2017-14:23
A terrific trio that would be hard, if not impossible, to better. Each has a very special and strong appeal. I hope you continue to enjoy them for many years to come. All the best, Mike
Thanks Mike
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 4th, 2017-00:31
....impossible to beat? Well, there is always a bigger fish! But for my taste, these worked well.
Bravo Joe,That's one nice watch
By: beejo : June 3rd, 2017-15:24
You needed that in your collection of love to see it when visiting London one day. Best, Ahmed
Thanks Ahmed
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 4th, 2017-00:30
You are always welcome in London. It would be great to meet.
Aaaah, torture.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : June 3rd, 2017-15:28
That 5970 is a dream. But, I must be partial to the 5370... Well done, my friend.
I agree
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 4th, 2017-00:29
5370 is king. But 5970 is a totally different personality. Complimentary in fact.
Absolutely agree.

......i think if i had sold my original 5970p for "any" valid reason, I would agree with you. But it was pure and simple...mistake. I went through all the metals very carefully....but P was the one that worked....and for a range of reasons. Having said th...
My friend. I'll bring the 5960p
By: Miles_151 : June 4th, 2017-02:59
On Tuesday with pleasure as I am right about this one as well as the 5970. I've seen more 5970p's for sale than any other metal. The reason is simple. People want to fall deeply in love with a Platinum 5970 so much they buy one only to realise they are be...
auctions......
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 4th, 2017-03:26
the white gold has been the most sold metal of the four over the last 7 years....marginally more than the rose gold. The least sold 5970, not surprisingly, is the yellow gold as it is way rarer. I hear what you are saying Miles....but take a look at my co...
Congrats on completing your MacNab :)
By: crown comfort : June 4th, 2017-02:04
the 5970P is a true marvel. Had the pleasure to try this one on at one of the GTGs and the size, the look, the complication just make a devilish cocktail.
Fantastic trio
By: Vwong : June 4th, 2017-10:47
I have never seen a 5070P and probably never will in real life, is it the rarest of the 3? The 5370 enamel dial is so much blacker than the 5970, I find. The 5370P looks less cluttered and has a cleaner look, but the 5970 obviously has its charms as a per...
many thanks.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 4th, 2017-11:04
......it is probably right to describe the 5070P as the rarest of the three. Probably only 150 were made in a 1 year production run. 5970P, the production was for just two years and it is believed that around 300 were made. 5370P is now in the second year...
5970P
By: Mark in Paris : June 4th, 2017-14:27
You have a very nice theme and it shows how much Patek's references through their history have brought in terms of interest and diversification. Enjoy wearing your watches Joe and congratulations for the last 5970P. Best, Mark
Thanks M.....

Totally at fault with my prior mistake....
