I tried the Patek 5970R lately
Hi everyone, As you maybe know already, I love Patek's iconic Chronograph - Perpetual Calendar references. This combination has been first introduced by Patek Philippe around 1941 (1st date I found) for the 1518 , then we had the 2499 from 1951 (the 1518 ...
Do I understand correctly?
When the time is right, you will choose 5270, probably R? Best, Kari
Not sure yet
Still looking at them and thinking about how I'll live/wear them and trying to feel which is the one I really want. And there is still a budget issue and a price level I'm not totally ready to cross But holding a 5970R is a really interesting experience. ...
This is what it means indeed
I defitinetly need more time to consider the priorities in my wishlist and about what I want most. Cheers Kari, Mark
To put the list into
right order and to be 100% sure is the most difficult part. After that comes the second difficult part - finding the money. Best, Kari
True
The second part makes the first one pushed to near perfection. And enhances the pleasure when one finds the right one. Cheers, Mark
The right one might come behind the corner.
When I bought 5960/1A, I wasn't 100% convinced. The purchase was one of those "I do not have anything like that. Perhaps I'll try." Now I have big difficulties to take this watch off my wrist. I simply love it - it's just the right watch for me in all res...
Yes, 5960A & P
are very different but still the same watch. That's why I took 5905 as the P version. Best, Kari
Many different occasions to fall in love with what we didn't expect
There is also the "I'm not convinced on picture" but after several years, when decided to have a try, it is the revelation. That's why I have a try of "as much as I can", then I decide. As you say, you never know... Last discovery for me? The 5110 line-up...
Check 5110P
It is relatively affordable compared to what it is. A lovely watch. Best, Kari
I saw one a week ago
and I must say this was a great experience. I'll give these 5110 some good thoughts, thanks Kari. Cheers, Mark
Not just thoughts but also €€,€€€...
That's the way to enjoy it for a long, long time. Have a nice starting week. Kari
Its a technically superior watch.
Also very classy and beautiful. Its the pinnacle for what a watch house like Patek can do. If you have the opportunity to own it , then go for it Mark. Cheers Geross.
I think also it is a very important reference for the brand
and it is well deserved. Still "maturing" all the elements of such a purchase Cheers Geross, Mark
case and movement..
... the 5270R is ahead for me. Proportions of the case, the details of the bezel and the lungs, is just the best there is out there. But the dial of the 5970R has something magical and that we do not find in the new generations of Patek. Advantage 5970 fo...
You perfectly summerized my thoughts keks.
The front side of the 5970 has something indeed magical. And I prefer the new movement. I must say that from my point of view the new 5270 (3rd gen) may really gather the best of both world. However, as the price tag increases, the expectations do equally...
