I would say their current market values are similar. But from a purist's point of view, 5970 has the following merits over 5270:
1. Shorter production period. 5970 was produced for around 6 years only, while 5270 has been in market since 2011 and still in production
2. The Lemania movement is visually more appealing (e.g. more inner angle bevel polishing) than Patek in-house CH29 caliber. Though CH29 is technically more advanced, with instantaneous minute counter for example.
3. The dial is more balance, with the two subdials in the same level of the central axis of chronograph, minute and hour hands, unlike the slightly dropped subdials in 5270.
Having said that, the case of 5270 is actually more sophisticated, especially over the lugs.

Opinion on 5270
Hi all. It seems that my next purchae will be a chrono and the one most have advised me is the 5270. Which model you guys prefer as i have no experience with PP chrono (i have 5711, 5712, 5990, 5230g, 5524g and 5205r)? I am looking at which one you think ...
Great collection you already have and adding a
PCC brings it to the next level ! 5270 is great and uses Patek’s in-house movement. So if it sings to you, then technically it is a great watch with aesthetics that you like. Alternatively in terms of collectibility, so PuristS prefer the 3970 and 5970 be...
Agree with Gordon's comments. Perpetual calendar chronograph will enrich your existing collection. If you wants to buy it new from your AD, 5270 is a great choice (actually the only choice).
Depends on your preference on the metal, you can choose from 5270J (quite classy actually if you like yellow gold), 5270/1R with bracelet or 5270P (great salmon dial and the prestigious platinum). Your relationship with AD will be elevated to another leve...

I fully agree with Henry.
5970 is more collectible and will be better from a value retention perspective. Same story for 5070 vs. 5170.
I certainly agree with the observations made here
comparing the 5970 to the 5270 On collectibility and value with the exception of the 5270P Salmond dial. I love the platinum, the dial, the movement (especially with the jump minute), the size and the overall look. That model is rare and I believe will ou...
Agreed!
Definitely my pick as well...5270P! But for some odd reason there are many on Chrono24 selling for a lot less than MSRP ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is a good problem to have!
The watches being discussed are all beautiful and many of us have had practical experience with these gorgeous timepieces. We are all very fortunate people. My big concern with the 5270 in any iteration is that the watch is BIG. My personal preference wou...
