Patek Philippe

so I am not relying on images which can be misleading. The fact that it houses an extraordinary movement and complication only adds to its appeal for me. So, you might ask “what’s the problem, other than the hefty price?”. The problem is I have a small wr...  

Not a problem at all for that wrist size. Maybe check out some of Tim Mosso's videos and see how some of the watches you already own look on him VS this watch & infer from there.

Still, far from convinced that its size will actually work for me. From my experience, how something looks on a wrist in a photo or video doesn’t necessarily mean it will be comfortable to wear. Eg 5905, particularly the steel bracelet version feels too b... 

...and it seemed to be a bit top-heavy on my 7.25" wrist. But very beautiful. If they could make it in A it would help I think...

...did you try it on? I wouldn't dream of spending this kind of money without putting it on my wrist first...

I will need to spend wrist time with it first.

...and even though I have a large-ish wrist (larger than his) they often feel unbalanced. But I think that could be remedied by getting the right strap fit that puts the watch directly on top of the wrist with no 'pull' from either side, if this makes sen... 

and it is quite comfortable for me. So maybe without thinking about it I have applied your suggestion😊

...your 5970P is listed at 40mm and 13.5mm. Really close to the 5370P. With a custom strap I think you'll be fine : )

I have both blue and black. both beautiful but if I can only haver one I prefer blk my wrist is flat on top 6.5" it sits beautifully and is not top heavy. but if your have rounded wrist perhaps it turns as it's platinum, thus heavy. I also have 5970 and 5...  

The watches look great on your wrist! Very special to have both versions …. Congratulations!

You're not wearing it for prolong period of times, just like handling precious antique China, delicate (don't drop it!!), touch, wipe it soft cloth, wear it on the wrist, look at it once a while, press the buttons. When you're wearing it, for black tie ev... 

do my best to avoid, I would most likely be wearing it with a pair of blue jeans and t-shirt😂

The black is spectacular but way too formal for me. The blue can be dressed up or down. I spent 3 weeks in Italy with my wife recently and the blue was a perfect companion on my wrist

Also I was there to play in a tennis tournament so we were mostly either at the tennis club or private residence so quite safe. I am not sure I would recommend walking around Rome with the 5370 on your wrist wearing a T-shirt! I think the key is to be awa... 

7.5” wrist… it fits great! ...  

go to the Geneva salon and try it on in person before spending a quarter million or so on a watch. I did try it on at the Geneva Salon and loved it. It is top heavy and the 5270 fits better imo but I also have a large wrist of 7.75 inches or so

Geneva) who has one. Not sure when, but hopefully before long I will see him and his 5370P.

and visit European Watch Company and try the 5370 in black on www.europeanwatch.com

I also have a 6.5 inch wrist, and I think it fits perfectly on my wrist. It does have heft, but I don't find it unwieldy and the size has never felt too large for my wrist. The top of my wrist is pretty flat, so depending on the shape of your wrist you ma...  

Apparently the thickness is not an issue for you. Surprised that the strap on the next to last hole fits you perfectly and the blue hue of the strap is also a perfect match for the watch. (I usually get short/custom PP straps partly for colors that are mo... 

This watch is lovely but it will be too large for your wrist. I have a wrist of similar measurements and I am unable to wear the 5370 or the 5270.

I guess it’s all very subjective. 😊

I am quite particular about how a watch sits on the wrist and if the lugs flare out then it would be deemed too large.

only have one, without hesitation it would the 5270.

As others have said, watches on the wrist are very subjective so I think it is time and money well spent going somewhere to try the piece. If you are buying new then your AD might well organise to get a piece in to try, mine did. If going secondary then y...  

but i have stopped worrying about it and wear what i like. surely i don't want to look like a mannequin with an arnold schwarzenegger-offshore but other than that i gave up on the standard wearability rules and stopped measuring whether the lugs reach one...  

Hope you will find your way to try one!!! Look forward to updates!!! I have a marginally larger wrist, about 6.75inches and tried both the blue and the black dial versions in the past. Both are stunning in their own way but for choice would definitely go ... 

Lug to lug the 5970 is ~ 46mm.. 5370 is 50mm, which is definitely > what I am used to for a dress watch The thin bezel also will make the watch wear larger than it is

I found it difficult to get the watch to sit right. As others have said it is also too heavy. ...  

seeing it at an event a few years back. I was also smitten with the lovely blue dial ! Good luck with your decision ! ...
