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 would be for the 5270J but in this I may stand alone . Many of our colleagues won’t go near yellow gold, especially in a watch that is as large as the 5270. I looked at a 5270R ( the one currently with a rose gold bracelet) at an AD in Beverly Hills. It is certainly beautiful but It’s too much “bling” for me. I have come to the conclusion that for my personal taste in these things, the 3970 is my absolute favorite. It has amazing capability and ( for my taste) has just the right amount of “presence” on the wrist.

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...
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)_/¯
