Both the management of this site and myself, as the Patek moderator, agree 100% on this point.....as everyone might have noticed just a few minutes ago.
Patek Philippe 5970R. A true nice watch.
A daring strap ( you know from who came the inspiration ) for one of my favorite Patek AND Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. This good old Lemania movement is good enough for me, too: Best, Nicolas ...
One of the....
best PPs in my opinion. I do prefer the salmon color dial though . Also, not sure whether I'd end up going for this one or for the VC Malte PC Chrono.... Would have to see both in person to make up my mind! Cheers, Filip
I would be thrilled with this as...
..an 'only watch.' Maybe in YG, but timeless in any case. Especially those leaf hands : )
This is very nice!
The strap has quite an interesting textured pattern, which surprisingly works with this timepiece. The inner alligator is always a pleasure to have. As for the watch, I cannot really say anything that has not been said before!
Thank you.
I had heard/read about ABP and did come close to ordering through their site, but do prefer to meet in person for a consult. I will definitely look into ABP in the future.
gorgeous and finally not a nautilus ...Patek is much more
sad to see the inflation of Nautilus only posts (what if, speculations, blame etc.)
The 5970 is my favorite Patek.
To me, nothing can beat it, before or, and especially, since.
The day I can afford a 5204 p - 😎
Black dial… I have considered departing a significant part of my collection for one. But not yet! A few more years before I am 50, then just maybe.
Extremely great Patek PCC.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the 5970r. Love them. M. ...
My favorite PP (would choose the G).
It looks good in every metal. True exit watch for me. Love this R and green strap combo. Cheers, John
The black dial P is terrific, but I would choose the G silver for versatility and classicism. Black dial is cool and sophisticated.
With this one, can't go wrong with any of the metals as long as the metal color works for you.
Classy and outstanding
Would it be a G or R or J for you? I actually can’t really tell the difference between a R or J.. Yming
The 5970 is still an amazing watch. It was always one of my grail pieces.
The White Gold being my favorite.
I find the black dial a bit too “harsh” almost aggressive for this type of watch. Its actually my least favorite.
Its already a “big gun”. No need to overplay it. The silver is more elegant and versatile. Just my 2 cents A classic. Absolutely!
The black dial
Is also my least fav - due to a few date numerals being marginally shrunken
From experience.
The black dial is by far my least favourite. Difficult to read the time but hey if that doesn’t worry you then no problem. Plus I’ve never been a fan of Patek black dials. Rolex do black dials well. M.
