If the light hit it right......
It is super legible , but a IF 
You need the light to be in an incident angle and create a highlight to the silver hour and minute hands to be able to see it clearly.
I have no problem with that but to some it can be annoying.
Would you expect to see a 5970P photo where the light didn't hit the right spot ;-)
Best thing is to check out the watch in metal or see if you can find someone who owns a 3970 Black Dial version to try.
Cheers,

Please guys can I see some in the wild wrist shots of a 5970p and owners opinions.....
Is it as good when owned and on the wrist???? To late if not as I have one coming but getting inpatient ..... Cheers M.
I have the regret to say that you made a mistake
And as I'm very helpful, I can send you my details by PM if you want to send it to me... I would have loved a lot to post some wrist shots, but I don't own it... Enjoy this terrific watch! Very best, and congrats. Nicolas
I like it on my wrist.....but
I like it on my wrist.....but would take 5970G over 5970P instead, in a heart-beat...
Haven't seen wrist shots of the 5970P neither...
Can't say that I've seen a lot of black dialed Patek Chronos lately. Personally, I really like the white dials on the yellow and rose gold models. The silver dial on the white gold models also looks great! Just haven't seen any black-dialed versions of la...
I love it...
it looks great, however, still haven't taken it out of the plastic, therefore, no pix yet.
Come on they are made for wearing not looking at..:)
Tear open that plastic and lets see some wrist action....PLEASE!! M.
in the same boat
I called my AD last week and he told me Augist or September the watch will arrive. I am with you, tear open teh plastic and get it on the wrist. I can see this watch becoming my personal favourite, but will need to wear it to be sure. But, i do empathise....
Just got mine, took a wristshot...
.....and then woke up! Deceived for sure, but what a dream! Cheers Dje...
If the watch appears like the one....
in your picture, I want one So beautiful. Cheers, CL
5970P
I always seem to need to get a smaller strap fitting, so 7.5 seems small, no? I am not saying 6.5 is not smaller! I have no ther 5970s....i dont even have teh 5970P yet, but according to my AD, i will have very soon. I have seen the gold version and have ...
You will enjoy this beauty :-)
All 5970s are beautiful , very hard to find another watch that can beat it in term of look and proportion. It can be worn in all occasions and truly , stunningly handsome. My personal preference is 5970G due to its silvery steel dial. *CL
It appears that the lack of photos.....................
Still shows how few are being delivered. Although I did see one still sealed in its box, at the Patek Boutique in London last month, awaiting collection by its lucky owner.
Gorgeous but it's hard to read vis-a-vis 5970J
Handled a 5970P just yesterday. First impression that it is arguable one of the most handsome PP. However, strapping the 5970P next to 5970J accentuates the former dial illegibility especially under low lighting. Black dial makes for an interesting contra...
just wait for my birhday.
It has only few 5970p for sale so it is very hard to see wrist shot. 5970p is the last watch with geneva seal and lemania movement. You can emagine how special it is. Other material like J G R surely stunning but for the feeling as owner you will never kn...
Thank you.....That has just made me even more excited.....
I disagree with all the " can't read the dial" stuff for me Plt and black dial is perfect..... M.

Natawa are you waiting until your birthday................
Until you unseal your 5970P?
I would do the same...
I recently got a 5970P.. waiting for my 38th b-day as well!! I love the 5970P, looks stunning!. But comparing the difference of degree of excitement between P and G (2nd derivative we are talking about here...) , the 5070 P/G has a much higher "gamma" tha...
Pictures...
do NOT do justice to this piece. Having seen one in the metal was just the tipping point for me to join the LONG queue in trying to secure this piece. It emanates a very masculine presence not usually synonymous with PP watches in general. Quite an emotio...
