Happy New Year, Mike!
It is a honest and humble start of the year, I hope it continues in the same direction…
Hehehe! I knew you would come with yours here! Fantastic in P version, big congrats to you !
A close friend of mine was having his on the wrist today also, but in J version (mine is a R version) With the 3 of us we are covering 3 of the 4 iterations ...
Thanks Mike for your very kind words. I love 5970 in all metals. For me, P is bold, daring and yet since a white metal a bit under the radar
around non watch collectors. G is icy cool and goes well with a myriad of colored straps. R is very warm and inviting in beautiful rose gold. J with the white dial is classic, understated and almost seems from another era. I really appreciate your posting...
I concur fully
You can add one detail to your comments: J is not only classy and classic and ads a touch of vintage look but it is also the rarest from all 4 iterations (not including the special versions like the G with salmon dial and some pieces uniques of course 😉)....
Yes, true about J being the rarest and an excellent point. If you haven’t already read it, I highly recommend a superb recap and review of 5970
which appeared in Revolution magazine in 2019 by Wei Koh. Easy to Google it.
Thanks Thomas for your kind words, and congratulations to you on your 5164R, a beautiful and highly practical watch. I remember
a very interesting review of the R version which appeared in Hodinkee. Easy to find thru Google if you are interested. Best, Patekova
Thanks a lot, dear Patekova!
I had read everything about the 5164R before I pulled the trigger. This Hodinkee article is downright enthusiastic about this watch.
Happy New Year, Mike!
It is a honest and humble start of the year, I hope it continues in the same direction…
Happy new year! Wonderful selection. Love the strap.
Right back at you with its brother: ...
Breathtaking....
What a watch to cross the year with! And the strap looks like a perfect match.
