How does the Patek Ref 5070 compare ?
Hi ! How does the Patek Ref 5070 compare with the earlier iconic Patek chronograph models such as Ref 130, Ref 530, Ref 1463, Ref 1579 ?
5070, 1463, and 1579
I have owned three of them - the 5070G and the 1463J and 1579J. Recently sold the 5070 but still have the others. I much prefer the two vintage pieces to the current 5070. In my mind they are more balanced and aesthetically pleasing not to mention the unu...
Dat was infact a majority opinion! ;)
Not at all mate, coz 5070 is just popular for its bigger size as huge cases are quite sporadic in Patek Philippe, otherwise definitely the vintage versions have a more classy and sophisticated presentation.
I have...
...5070G, 5070R and 130 in Rose gold. The 130, at 33mm feels half the size, but twice the elegance. It's my favorite. It does feel more delicate, when pressing the chrono pushers, than the modern counterpart for sure. Been at Patek for a loooooooong time ...
Magnificent piece. Case looks crisp.Hall marks on the lugs
BTW Why did you send it PP . Routine service or something else because it looks pristine Thanks for showing Julian
Comparison....
...of my biggest and smallest...47mm plays 33mm...! Sometimes smaller is better... Tim...
What about the movement ?
So far the comparisons have only been about the looks................what about the movements ? Isnt the Nouvelle Lemania Ch 27-70 probably the best chrono movment from Patek so far ?
