Patek Philippe

Irony of Fate... When I bought the Patek 5070 six years ago, I was quite happy and proud to have built a nice collection of modern Chronographs, as I already owned the Vacheron Les Historiques Chronograph salmon dial / platinum case, the Jaeger Lecoultre ...  

Very very nice piece ! Manual Winding Chronograph is pure class

As for The 5960A I am also a big fan. Still struggle to make a move on it as I am so very fond of my 5960P. Yes one can not have too many but truth is there are so many fish in the pond and only so much bait in my pocket and only one wrist to wear with. M... 

and the bracelet can easily be changed to a well fitting strap. For many months I have not been wearing anything as much as my 5960A. The strap is now close to perfection but I just ordered a new one where the stitching will go a bit closer to the case. T...  

Yours look truly amazing with the strap. I am in the process however of convincing myself that I should not have this watch... Not easy process I must admit. If it was only swim proof would have gone for it some time ago as it looks like a perfect summer ... 

because I did not like the bracelet. But then I realised how to put in into strap. Now I'm enjoying the last snow (1 meter) some 250 km north of the Polar Circle. The sun is shining and today we are enjoying our 5-years anniversary dinner. Tomorrow mornin... 

Sounds like a great way to spend it. Not been that far north yet but hope to one day find a way to make it in the near future. A project to plan for next Easter perhaps. Arctic char surely makes for great dinner!

And (even) in the Swedish side there are some nice lakes with arctic char. That as a starter and snow grouse as main=heaven. Mvh, Kari

You have inspired me to try to find a way up north next spring. Quite possibly to the Swedish side . Time to start planning what to wear on the wrist for that adventure...

around Xmas and New Year. That's stunning and the little light there is - it is really out of this world. Best, Kari

If I get one, one day... Best, and thanks for your kind words, keks.

So we can assume that you are still totally smitten by this piece and it will not be leaving your collection any time soon The centre stone of any collection Julian

Thats the way life goes. First thought of buying only 1 calatrava then another. Well this can get addicting. The only watch i sold so far is a russian poljot to an employee of mine. Could not stand it sitting on my wrist. A symbol of communism. The politi... 

To me, the JLC Duometre is certainly the most original and innovative, the Lange Dato has a higher level of decoration, such as the Montlblanc 1858 Tachymeter, but the Patek 5070 certainly is the coolest manual winding chronograph among these 4. Best, Ger... 

Great watch to have and sure you will do the PP thing in this case and pass it on to your daughter May it continue to bring happiness whenever you wear it!

She is definitely a "classy" lady and a keeper as a cornerstone for your collection. Cheers, Gordon

but that does look so cool on your wrist. It is a beauty!

... maybe I could be a chrono guy after all for just one special one

I enjoy very much your "birthday" or "purchase experience" (the 5110P for instance). Always interesting to see what owners may see in a model and what made them choose this or that watch. I could play very recently with a fellow friend's 5070G and came ba... 

no doubt you will have the patience to gather them again if you want to.

First of all happy 6th anniversary and here\'s to many more Second I do hope that you do get united with your beloved lost treasures Third I hope you fulfill your chrono quest as you imagined it Cheers my friend

.....very cool

Can't have enough wrist shots of the 5070, just love it! Perfect size for your wrist.

... your beautiful PP chrono dear Nicolas! Your great photography show these qualities neatly. I specially love the shot inside your vintage Volvo! Happy 6th Birthday to your 5070 and to you my friend, and I wish you´ll keep your love and enjoyment for ma... 

Hope you continue to enjoy your 5070. I certainly understand the charm and coolness of it. It is one that I would like to add my collection when I source the right one. The 5960/A with a strap IMHO does make it more interesting and appealing. Not sure I w... 

And I was ( still am ) a fan of the grey dial, which I find really stunning. But the 5960A, if you remove this bloody grand father bracelet, and change it for a cool black leather one, is just a kind of Paul Newman ala Patek. Best, Nicolas
