If only I could fund it... I have a wish list of two or three Patek. This one is one of them for sure. I see the 5970P as the epitome of the modern Patek QP Chronograph, along with the 3970, of course, and the 5004. The case shape and proportions, the dia...

Just one picture of my Grail: Patek 5970P.

Agree my friend.

Well, I would change my grail for a G Salmon everyday! ;)

Bless you.

Over the Salmon G???

No. Unless you consider it a standard version 😜

Aaaah! :)))

Curious

R for me all day long.

G for me.

A running watch. My grail is the 5402p I think.

Picture?

The gold version - credit -WWW

Thanks!

White metal with heft is appropriate for your taste Nicolas !

Well, it depends. The problem with platinum is that I don't like this metal on big watches. It adds too much weight, but here it is perfect.

Seldom seen in the wild ...

Great shot. Very seldom seen indeed. Same as these 2.

Ouch! Double ouch! But what a double pleausre!

It’s always interesting to meet another owner...

Yes it is always great when it happens.

Just Wow, classiest (double) 5970 shot ever! ;-)

Not bad, considering one or two little drinks had been consumed 😎

😂👍👍

Wow that’s amazing.

Our Miles will kill us.

😆

;)

Indeed!

5970P is my grail Patek too! Wish I have the opportunity to acquire it. Regrettably our limited funds can never catch up with our unlimited wishes…..

Very true.

Nicely put and sadly true!

I have to agree with Miles

Great minds Mike.

I also prefer the RG version.

Thanks for your feedback, Thomas. Are you on the hunt, too?

I hesitate in my decision (I am torn).

In total agreement with you.

Wow, you owned three of them? And how many did you keep?

my 5970P says hello

A real beauty!

I cross my fingers for you, mon ami.

We share this vice

Any 5970 would do that job.

Hmmm... your suggestion of the R made me think

P and G for me, too.

Exactly the same for me...

Not a 2 watch PP for you though...

One for sure, the 5110P. Now would I trade in my 5070G for a 5970P? Well, probably!

A fair point

But an expensive one! ;)

That’s exactly my problem 🙄

Hehehe, welcome to the Club. ;)

Thanks for a typically superb portrait Nico, certainly a grail for many! Perfect in every aspect, and I do love the added heft of the P case! Hope it can soon join your collection my friend...;-)

That's the cherry on the cake for me, indeed.

A dream for me. The 5970 is my favorite Patek...would be hard choosing between this black dial and the silver dial version.

Same dilemma. I wouldn't complain if I could " score " a G. But if I had the choice and the possibility, then the P.

The P is special for its rarity, black dial and platinum case. The G is so very versatile.

Well, I exclude rarity, because it doesn't really matter for me, the character of the watch is more important to me. And the addition of strength of the black dial pleases me a bit more, as well as the density of the platinum case.

I still think I would go G. A dilemma I wish I could have in reality.

A superb dilemma, and the good thing is that you can't go wrong with any of them.

a Lucky owner ordered a 5970P with white hands

It helps for legibility but do you prefer them to the " standard " ones?

yes, without any doubt. My taste and my choice.

Thanks, Patrick.

Great reference. Also my most favourite modern PC Chrono from Patek 👍

Thanks for sharing your love on that one, my friend.

Of complicated, regular production Pateks from the “modern era” (which for me begins with 3940/3970), 5970P is my clear favorite.

Lucky you! Thanks for the nice wrist shot.

Thank you. Yes, I feel very fortunate. I hope someday one will find its way to you.

Thank you so much for the kind wishes.

100% agree my friend

Thanks for reading, Quan.

Indeed what a grail.

You can't go wrong with a reference such as the 3970, which is hyper elegant. The 5970 has a different case not only size wise, but also the lugs.
