I also think it’s worth mentioning on the 5970, things like the 24hr indicator and leap year to me are only useful in setting the watch. I’d love to one day somehow see that incorporated on the movement/caseback to free up the dial. Not sure if Patek will see that as in their MO. Or perhaps another clever way in the dial without apertures of cluttering subdials. Not sure how but there’s always a way. Lange blew me a way with their day night moonphase indicator. But that’s just me nitpicking what I like. I wouldn’t dare take away the title of perfection from the 5970 because frankly it doesn’t even bother me. It’s just a fun idea to think about

My favourite 5270s
By: Horology_Ancienne : June 29th, 2021-23:14
When I think about what is my favourite 5270, I find myself torn between the 5270/1r, the 5270p and the 5270j. Each expresses a uniquely different character from the other but all three personalities strongly resonate with me. The 5270j came entirely as a...
Great post!

Love my 52701r and 5270p. I am comfortable wearing the P most places but mostly uncomfortable wearing the 1r in public. You?

My hand to god. My favorite. I have 5270 no chin, white/gray face. Yours is amazing. Thanks
A very insightful response. A pleasure to read!

I get that for many (especially Patek collectors) the 5270/1r is a lot. Im somewhere in the middle enjoying the very discrete and quite loud pieces from Patek. So it feels ok for me. The 5270p hands never bothered me but I will confess that should the 597...
Thank you my friend for the kind words.

I must say, the 5270j was a stroke of genius by Patek. Look at how it shifted the conversation and made the yellow variant of all the metals so respected. Partly because it came last. Hats off to them
It looks superb now ....

and in ten years time it will look just as good if not better.
