Good morning! This is a watch that must be seen to be appreciated.
For a time a few years ago I was fortunate to own a yellow gold 5070. While I am not a fan of yellow gold watches typically, this one is breathtaking. The contrast of the yellow numbers, hands and markings against the rich black dial make it very striking. My preference would be G, J, P and then R. This is a must see in the flesh type of watch in order to appreciate it.

Just for the pleasure to share a picture of a great reference. Not a fan of colored gold watches, but here, it enhances its vintage charm. Grandiose. Best, Nicolas ...
Thanks for sharing, Nicolas.
This is the 5070 I like the least. I prefer G, then R with P topping the list. Best, Volker
Agree, Nicolas.
An ultimate verdict always requires to have seen a watch in the metal. 🙏
5070s
It’s one of those references where each metal is so different that each watch is almost a reference in itself. If pushed I would go P, G, J and then R. But each one really is so different it’s hard to look in isolation. The J, of course, is the most origi...
the J is also quite rare too.....
....I think if i was to add one, it would be J. But then, if J was added, you are halfway to the quartet and that just leads to more pain.....
Well, once you have the P, you have two possibilities...
Go for the J, and play it vintage, or... The white metal pair. The foursome? A third possibility, but one thing is sure, once you have the P, things are easier.
Hi Nicolas, an excellent photo as usual ! To me, the blue of the P is a "WOW", whereas this ...
black dial matched with the gold metal is simply POWERFUL ! Cheers, Gordon

Breathtaking!!!
My preference in term of case color is P, G,J, R. My preference in term of dial color is R, P, G, J. So if they have a Platinum case with the dial from the RG version, I will NEED one . No, the salmon dial on this or on the 5970 do not work for me. That s...
That's the only way...
to protect the wallet . Asking for watches that's not possible is a good excuse for not being able to have one
Ranking these is a futile exercise at best... all so different in character.
But I will still have a go... among the regular production variants: P, R, J, G Why G last? Well it is the most conservative and down the middle version. So it loses out to the stronger personalities of the other versions with more vibrant dials... still ...
Stunning shot!
I must say I am more and more convinced the J is either first or shared first together with P in my ranking... Best Blomman
