I get that for many (especially Patek collectors) the 5270/1r is a lot. Im somewhere in the middle enjoying the very discrete and quite loud pieces from Patek. So it feels ok for me.
The 5270p hands never bothered me but I will confess that should the 5970 hands have been borrowed, it would have suited the piece with its thin hands better.
The 5270j, well I’m so happy Patek decided to remind us of their roots. Fabulous watch!!
Back in the day I practically hoarded 5004s and 5970s. Many still with me. The 5204 I never even tried on. I’m very excited for the next generation of PCCs but am hoping for a return of subdials aligned at 3/9 o’clock

My favourite 5270s

When I think about what is my favourite 5270, I find myself torn between the 5270/1r, the 5270p and the 5270j. Each expresses a uniquely different character from the other but all three personalities strongly resonate with me. The 5270j came entirely as a...
Great post!

Love my 52701r and 5270p. I am comfortable wearing the P most places but mostly uncomfortable wearing the 1r in public. You?

Thank you my friend for the kind words.

I must say, the 5270j was a stroke of genius by Patek. Look at how it shifted the conversation and made the yellow variant of all the metals so respected. Partly because it came last. Hats off to them
It looks superb now ....

and in ten years time it will look just as good if not better.
Excuse my grammar and spelling. “Palate” and so forth haha

I also think it’s worth mentioning on the 5970, things like the 24hr indicator and leap year to me are only useful in setting the watch. I’d love to one day somehow see that incorporated on the movement/caseback to free up the dial. Not sure if Patek will...
Can’t wait!
