My AD has one that I am going to see this afternoon. My question is “is it too gaudy?” I would appreciate your opinions. ...
No

I am very sensitive to gaudy, blingy and generally bad taste noveau riche things, and I can say with confidence that this is not. It is pure class.
For me yes

as I would prefer such a watch to be more discreet with a leather strap and I also can imagine it would feel on the heavy side but you might actually prefer to feel the weight of the watch unlike me. Best for you to try it on for as long as possible to ge...

I don't think it's too gaudy, but it is a question of personal taste

When I see the watch in your picture, the first thing I see is a gold watch on bracelet. if it was on a leather strap, the first thing I'd see is a complicated Patek. That's the thing about gold bracelets, they kind of dominate the initial impression. As ...
Thank you all!!

I actually own the 5270R and I am taking it with me for a possible trade. I like you comment comparing the two, thanks.
I think that’s a little unfair

The OP asked for opinions and forum members have the right to express an opinion without being deemed superficial or accused of not knowing what they’re talking about. NickO
NickiO, I did not have fellow members in mind

Sorry, to have come in that manner across. I have people in mind who are not at all familiar with watches or Pateks. Those will only be dazzled by the amount of gold. If members of this site think it is ostantatious then it is a different thing. It would ...

I hate it if people put a person into a category because of his possesion. I hate it even more if a possesion is linked to a certain group only. Why can it not simply be because I like it, as a personal statement?
Watchonthewrist gave you the best answer.

This is the one question I do not understand people asking. What does it matter what others think about a watch someone likes? Why is there a need for other people to approve of one’s choice? Will you only wear the watch if most people encouraged you to b...

If you can trust yourself When all men doubt you But make allowances for their doubting, too So I think there’s a happy medium. I agree with you, the opinions of others should not solely dictate our preferences or actions. But sometimes the jury is still ...
Amazing

You made the right choice. Looks fantastic!
WOW!
By: @WatchesandWristshots : June 10th, 2019-19:14
Many Congrats! Looks absolutely amazing. Very curious; Do you know it would be possible to put a leather strap on this model? Best regards, H
I did!!!

Appreciate you comments.
I think this PP is a wonderfully
By: GreatPilot@me.com : June 6th, 2019-19:58
beautiful watch with the best combination of complications available. I believe sometime we ask what others think to verify our choices or to verify value as others see it. I am buying the FP Journe Resonance gold bracelet with a silver dial and I’ve had ...
Not at all
By: watch-er : June 7th, 2019-05:35
There is someone for every watch. I would wear this watch without worry.
Cannot you also
By: watch-er : June 7th, 2019-05:35
put on a strap anytime you like?
Imo
By: Mr. M : June 7th, 2019-05:53
too large and too much for my taste. But i’m boring so don’t listen to me😊
Strap
By: KonaJ : June 7th, 2019-09:23
Don’t know if I can put on a strap...
The combination black and rose gold is always great.
By: Alex83 : June 7th, 2019-11:42
You can always put it on a nice brown or black strap if want to put the bracelet on a side for a while. In general I find the 5270 a bit on the big side for me,but here the black dial makes it look smaller which is a good point, I like this one.

A little blingy
By: Svalleynick : June 7th, 2019-20:15
I have a 5146R with a leather band. I think that the 5270 is the quintessential Patek. Most of the perpetuals are shown with leather band to emphasize the face of the watch and the intricacies of the movements in my opinion. They are classic and timeless....
5270R
By: Peter : June 12th, 2019-01:12
i like the looks of the 5270R a lot, better than the leather strap versions, R or P. however, it is a very shiny piece and wearability might be restricted in most places of the world.
I agree.
By: KonaJ : June 12th, 2019-11:15
I will not use it as travel watch...
