I have tried it on a few times
Like I said, it’s a beautiful watch. But I prefer the size ratio of the 5970 for my taste.
Patek Philippe 5970P
I haven't worn this watch for a long time now. But now its starting to call. I have had its cousin on my wrist for a while, but now the PCC is starting to call louder. I feel a trip to London may be needed. I think this will be the watch I wear to go to B...
Superb piece
Perfect travel companion to Basel. Enjoy and look forward to thoughts on novelties!
Thanks Keks
I have never travelled with it before. Very much looking forward to the experience
I very much enjoy traveling with a nice watch.
Useful to know how long until boarding time... useful to rest eyes on when born with books and inflight entertainment... useful in so many ways!
debating between the different metals is tricky......
white metal/black dial combinations appeal to me aesthetically.
Each has his own preferences
I used to favor the combination you mention in general for all watches. To me it has changed. I often find the contrast is too stark in some of Patek and Lange black dials with white print. So more often I prefer the white dial version (in the case such a...
I did have the pleasure trying another one on and
it's simply perfection. The size convinced me over the 3970, which I do like a lot, bit the 5970 is overall better on the wrist.
I think they are both great watches......
......but i am with the 59 over the 39 for a number of reasons. The 5970 wears stunningly well on the wrist.
What a grand watch.
And you are milking us using the 'winning' photo, I see. Damn it, now I want one again.
5970P is THE king, and I cannot see anything overtaking it anytime soon.
I have only worn the 5970R, so have had a chance to appreciate the proportions, dial layout of the 5970. However PP reached perfection with the P. As much as I love your 5370P, and the 5204P, the 5970 dial fills all spaces to perfection, and in this P ver...
passion for a watch is always good to see.....
.......over the years, I have developed a pecking order and, yes, this one features very high. Not top dog fo rme, but certainly up there.
I have clear Top 3
Top dog is the 3448. 5650G is No.2 5370P is No.3 After that, it gets tricky. ...
i think it has always been hard to have a "favourite"......but.....
......the 3448 has always been that for me. What has been a massive surprise has been the 5650G.
Great info.
What are your thoughts on the 3970? I have a 5270 and I was thinking of looking for a vintage piece like the 3970P. Any thoughts would be great. CB
3970p is a beautiful Watch....
.... but it’s truly about personal taste. It sits on the wrist very differently to a 5270 or 5970. Have you tried it on the wrist yet?
No I have not tried it on.
It does look thick and may sit high in the wrist. I however love the nostalgia associated with the 3970. Ultimately the watch is made to be worn on the wrist so I must try it on. Do you have experience with the 3970? Thanks for a great thread.

Excellent Mr Red.
Yes I read your preferences upstream in this thread. I am sorry. I know the answer to my own question. I will try the 3940 on sometime hopefully. Until then I will continue to enjoy my 5270R Thank you.
No better travel companion than a 5970.
I’m sure it will keep great time for you on your travels and make you very happy......for now😉. Love all 5970’s but as you know the P was not my favourite. Loved the case colour but the dial just doesn’t sit well with me. But hey we all know how good it i...
The only pitiys the journey is so short!!
I would rate this way above the Terminator but hey thats me ( and I dont own either - so what do I know) Enjoy Basel Julian
I would have agreed with you once....
.... but after wearing the 5650g, it changes. Julian, just about every owner of the 5650g says the same. All owners are quite hard core collectors who have been playing for a long time. Yet to a man, they all say the same thing .... that 5650g is one if t...
Enjoy it! The 5970 is my favourite PCC and my top 1 grail watch
You'll have a great time in Basel, even better with this beauty on the wrist 😉
You buy wisely Joe. Yes, it ticks all boxes. Looks really nice on your wrist my friend.
Have a safe fun journey when you go to Basel. Ill await your posts with much interest. Best wishes! Geross.
