12 years with the Patek Philippe 5070G.
By: amanico : March 19th, 2022-15:48
And still counting! I don't have many Patek Philippe watches, for a good reason: I am not a huge Patek Philippe Fan. They just don't move me. But there are some which I really love. I have a wish list of only 4 or 5 Patek, vintage included. And those I ha...
I am in complete agreement with you....
By: InHavenPro : March 19th, 2022-16:00
Not only in relation to this specific, wonderfully elegant and subtle chrono, but PP in general. Most of their catalogue isn't for me, but those few that are totally 'nail it' out of the ballpark . Tres magnifique monsieur, I am now in the final few-day s...

Je suis d'accord!

Wonderful!
By: MTR : March 20th, 2022-15:55
The J is my favorite 5070. Just wrote about it in my post before. A stunner! All the best Thomas
How do you do it Nico?!!
By: sham1 : March 19th, 2022-16:15
Apart from my previous job, I have never had anything for 12 years! The longest I have had a watch is 6 years, a home 5 years, a car 4 yeas and a wife also 4 years! and 12 years is the sum of my four marriages put together!!

4 marriages in 12 years….
By: MTR : March 20th, 2022-15:59
Now I've just sat up in my chair and I'm getting curious…. 🙃 But perhaps if you get a dog, a cat or children this might change. 😁
The 4 marriages lasted a total of 12 years
By: sham1 : March 21st, 2022-03:07
but it was over a span of 19 years if that makes sense! Then again how can four marriages and four divorces ever make sense??!!! Allow me to let you in on a secret (which will stop being one due to this post!!) - I hope to get married again in June! Hey, ...
Hahahahaha!

I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm. 🙏🙏🙏 But as for watches, I stopped collecting too when getting my grail IWC Minute Repeater in 2019. After this „hard“ turning point (I even took an oath!), three more wonderful watches found their way into my collec...
I did it before getting the IWC MR.
By: MTR : March 21st, 2022-10:06
Very consistent and almost brutal. I sold my GP Sea Hawk II, I sold my JLC Grande Date 8 jours, I sold some Panerais, I sold my Rolex Day Date 36 mm (this was a mistake!!) etc etc. I even sold a Patek AC 5146G (no mistake!!) because I didn’t really love i...

and with it my visit to the factory in La Chaux-de-Fonds is getting closer and I am very afraid of holding this dream piece in my hands in person. I have no idea what my resilience will be like. I am currently trying to come up with all sorts of arguments...
P.S.
By: MTR : March 21st, 2022-09:58
Of course i don’t want to compare marriages and watch collecting. 😁 And 13 years of abstinence are very good anyway. Whereby „abstinence“ is probably to be seen in relative terms in your case. 🙏😉
Does she allow you to
By: MTR : March 21st, 2022-12:19
collect watches? That’s one of the most important aspects for us WIS. LOLLL
I could not agree more!
By: sham1 : March 21st, 2022-14:07
It is one of the tests any woman would have to pass! In fact I have even succeeded getting her keen on watches after presenting her with a Reverso One. Yes, I know such underhanded tactics always work I had never spoiled any of my ex wives before with wat...

By: MTR : March 21st, 2022-10:38
4(!) watches in two years. But that doesn't make things any better… 🙄
Take it from me Thomas
By: sham1 : March 21st, 2022-12:08
Divorces are a lot more expensive than minute repeaters so I would thread ultra carefully in my old age especially as I am retired, unemployed with zero income!!
Hahahahahahaha!!!!

Thank you for your very kind words, my dear Douglas!
By: MTR : March 29th, 2022-20:46
I enjoy my watch passion vicariously through some very inspiring watch friends, too. We don't always have to own everything for ourselves. It is also very satisfying to “just” enjoy the joy of others and accompany them on their personal journey. So I thin...
I salute you Douglas
By: sham1 : March 30th, 2022-10:17
for being able to establish your 'final' watch. That for many of us would be near impossible and for me, definitely not. My final watch would simply be the last one I buy before I pop off one day. It may not be the most expensive or complicated piece but ...
Your tributes to this watch are inspiring...
By: BuffaloWatch : March 19th, 2022-16:19
And motivated me to obtain a 5070G last year. Your assessment helps us to understand why we react to and like the watch, even if we couldn't articulate the reasons ourselves. Just like an art historian, who helps us understand why we react to a great pain...
Absolutely beautiful!
By: KCLQMULKU : March 19th, 2022-16:19
I love the white dial, white metal, dial style, and the movement! History, quality/longevity, beauty, presence, and poignant charm. 12 years to me is not a surprise! By the way, I am not sure if it is just me but I really like the contrast between the wel...

By: KCLQMULKU : March 19th, 2022-17:39
To me it is poetic in a way. Seeing the strap as a measure of the immortality of the timepiece.
:)
By: KCLQMULKU : March 19th, 2022-19:14
Indeed :-)
By: Mr.Gatsby : March 20th, 2022-07:45
If you and I put our watches together we will see a lot of doubles. Best Gatsby
Funny I've never had strong PP desire either.
By: TeutonicCarFan : March 19th, 2022-17:41
I like their watches , just other things have caught my eye. 5196p is a watch I often consider. Otherwise things like their PC or double split fascinate me but are out of my budget. 5070 is one that has charm. The case is almost chunky and linear (if that...
Great story and biggest congrats for this long watch marriage, dear Nico 😄
By: cayenne1200 : March 19th, 2022-17:43
It’s wonderful to see that you love this models so much. I’m owning my 5070G for 4 years now and I’m still struggling with the case/dial/movement proportions. Some days I really love wearing it, some days I look at it and think this piece must leave my co...
Wow My friend.
By: Miles_151 : March 19th, 2022-18:31
Firstly congratulations on your 12 years with your 5070. It is a great watch and my first 5070 was also the G. I am somewhat surprised to hear you say you are not really a Patek fan and found only a few you like. I know like me you started your journey an...
Thanks for your impressions on this reference
By: penfriend : March 19th, 2022-19:07
I have never been attracted by the big case compared to the rather small dial but I can understand your sentiment of imperfection of this timepiece well. So cheers for the next 12 years!
Uber Cool!!!
By: Grisar : March 19th, 2022-19:56
This is definitely one of the most charming Pateks and one of the most charming chronographs. Congratulations, my friend and enjoy this marvel in the next decades ... Amazing watch amazing pictures amazing passion!
I know you have a long term love affair
By: watch-guy.com : March 19th, 2022-22:00
With this watch and for good reason I agree with you 100% You know my feelings about mine and they are similar to yours I just don’t wear mine as often as I should Happy 10 th anniversary ...

Definitely the quintessential watch...
By: pfang56 : March 20th, 2022-09:14
I am actually saddened to let one go many many years ago - every time you post this 5070G reignites a passion and nostalgia that is second to none. Why can't we see more pieces like this one? I guess we will find out the next generation models in a few we...

I love the honesty about it, which is really true with about any watch. We rarely find a 'perfect' watch, and thus live and learn to love its imperfections. I enjoyed hearing your honest thoughts, and in the end, i hope it stays with you for many years to...
