Patek....
.....are on record saying that the reference as a whole saw a maximum of 250 watches produced per year per metal. It is normal that the production overlaps a year...from Basel to Basel. Production is officially just a year, I believe. So, i see a maximum of 250 according to the Patek statement. However, I have spoken to a nunber of people linked to the company who have suggested that the actual number produced is closer to 150. I have also heard estimates as low as 100. The reality is that it is probably in a 100-250 range. I know people who were collecting in 2009 who now say that they were never ever offered a 5070. The same people say that they had no problem being offered a 5970P at the same time. Similarly, if you look at the frequency of offerings at auction, it suggests considerable scarcity. Either way, its a hard watch to find, but also hard to be definitive on final numbers. It was an application watch...so its distribution never really saw it readily available.
In terms of price, I believe it was around £43-45,000, back in 2009, but I cannot be certain. It was around that number. It moved immediately to around £65,000 and stayed there for a few years. It has been moving upwards for the last 3 years or so now to its current level.
Good luck with your decision.........

I'm falling in love with this piece
What do you think? Any comment would be very much appreciated. Best regards G. ...
Will you be jealous if I tell you I'm in love for this one too?
But it is an unaffordable love for me 😞
It is relatively simple...
Once upon a time, Mike H met amanico somewhere near Luxembourg Garden in Paris with some other Purists friends as they do from time to time. They were all looking at the watches they had brought that day and there was a PP 5070 G on the table. Mike told h...
Hello Brandon
Thank you for your comment... And what do you like particularly about it? Best
Tell you what mate...
It looks good on your wrist! If it's love then I don't think there is much else to say. That case shape is brilliant.
Thank you Harry
I appreciate your comment about how it fits my wrist. I never considered a 42 mm PP before. Best G.
I think some large dress watches can be very cool
This Patek case shape is a good example, so are the hand wound Portuguese! Especially the Jubilee models. When it's done right, it's beautiful.
You really should not my friend
It fits you perfectly! And knowing your style...it's so you! Just do it D
I beleive every iteration of the 5070.....
...is gorgeous. However I have never been able to understand the delta in price between it and the VC 47120. I heard all the arguments; level of finish, resale, etc. and don't necessarily disagree however I can't reconcile the difference in price (almost ...
I appreciate your insightful consideration
The VC you talk about it is not my cup of tea. But I understand what you mean. Best G.
Best you buy it. Go for it. You will always dream if you don't own it.
Cheers and good luck. Geross
As I already said
my only concern is the size, but this version having the dark blue dial it looks a bit smaller. Best G.
PP 5070 can't be slammed and that watch is grand slam ;)
And all that size this size that bubble of late doesn't bother me a bit .. 5070J is my dream ... as a whole that reference has soul much more than some others with "perfectly big" movement Cheers D
indeed....
......it is naive to think that there is some sort of objectivity about personal taste. What is big to one, is not to another.
Indeed so...
also in that price range we don't speak ratio but emotions...and that's most important...without emotions we are as good as dead ...or was that name sociopath
Gorgeous. One of my absolute favorite Patek Philippes...
One of my favorites. The case is to die for. The double stepped lugs, the double bezel. The deepness of the blue. Just a great piece. This is the most beautiful watch Patek Philippe has made in the past ten years. 5130P comes close. But this one takes the...
Why not consider the 5170
It's modern, has pulsation meter (making it different), with in house movement, and the size is just right (for me at least). One of the negatives of this 5070 model that I read is that the watch has the original movement being fitted into a large case, r...
Thanks but I got that one already
I think it is a classic with the Breguet numerals and the pulsometric scale. Best. G.
....nah...
The bezel is too thick, appears that the watch case is forcefully enlarged and doesn't match the classic dial design.
It's like a piece of art
Those that don't "get it" come up with reasons why you shouldn't buy it. Those that do "get it", understand why you are looking. First things first, price is a hard thing to factor into the equation. Only 150-200 of this reference was made. From 2009 onwa...
Thanks Joe
It has been nice to read your heartfelt comment considering the fact that you own one. I find the watch in both catalogs 2008/09 But the P was not among the 2008 Basel novelties (see pics). It seems like it was produced for 1 & 1/2 Year. How can you come ...

Thanks
I found this price list in Swiss francs. It says 80 000. Considering the price they are now asking it is still a great buy. When I buy a watch I like to consider various elements 😉 Best G. ...
yes...that makes sense.....
....£/Swiss franc was around 1.70 ish...so around £47,000.
I think the 5070 would be a perfect match for you
fits your style and indeed it is a dream watch.
One of the best modern Pateks
I fell in love since I have tried a members watch in Basel 2016.Pull the trigger. Best, Ahmed
Well, like Baron said
If you want to combine this one with casual attire then it is perfect, in platinum particularly as it is not overt. It is not a formal or classic watch, albeit Patek has used this case in the past once already. Judging on pictures it fits on your wrist, s...
Love the shape, function and layout but...
For me personally there are two issues: one is the size and the other the fact that the indices and hands disappear in the black background making it hard to read the time and appreciate the true beauty of it. I would prefer it to be smaller and in a whit...
needs to be seen in the flesh....
....the dial is acually a mid blue but changes hue with the background lighting...it can come across as very dark blue to very light blue. I have rarely ever had a problem with the hands merging into the dial colouring.....in reality, i don't find that an...
Simple:
You love it, you like the way it fits. What else do you need? Get it and be happy. On a personal note, I too love this ref from PP.
decisiveness....
......as my wife once said to me...."You are extremely good at making decisions. Occasionally, they are right."
I have never been a great fan of the 5070 because its massive look and its numerals. I would have preferred much more Breguet numerals this is one of the reasons why I totally prefer the 5170.
However on your wrist dimensions' issues seem not to be so dramatic, from the moment that it fits you almost perfectly. At a level of movement ... no words a classic and beautiful Lemania movement. Best.
Buy it, enjoy wearing it
and in the future, you should always find a buyer for this rare model ;-)) Best, Patrickh
I just love it too
The dial color, the dial decoration (sunburst) and how it works with light etc... I think that what I like most is the bezel and how it works with the case. I think that this bezel combines perfectly with a smoother, rounder case. That's a very good alche...
G. I have only one comment to make ........
WHAT THE HELL TOOK YOU THIS LONG?????? 😉😉😉 Simply stunning. Wear and stare in good health. M.
Thanks!
Beautiful indeed. The reason why I waited so long is because the size never convinced me. Best G.
