sorry to hear that
I guess the news from your AD sums it all... for them to refund your deposit, this really means the end of the model, and that the deliveries this year on previous orders are not too hopeful. I wonder what the new model will be.... 6970? I don't think there is any model above the 6000 yet, correct? Just talking out of my head.
How about the 5070... are there fellow purists out there who had an order last year for delivery this year? What are you hearing from your AD?

5970, 5070 availability in 2008
I was told that in Asia, the above complications are not listed in the new price list for 2008. I'm wondering if fellow purists in Asia can confirm this fact, and what their respective AD's are saying about this. Does this mean that it's no longer being m...
5970/5070 are no longer available....
I confirmed with this information with my AD (Dec. 31/06, N.America) that the 2008 price list no longer carries the 5970/5070. My AD went one step further and called Patek H.Q (Geneva) who confirmed that these models are no longer available for order. I s...
thanks for the info
I feel like this is the "passing of the torch" of the old 27-70 lemania movement into a (new Patek in-house movement?), from the info that we've gathered thus far. Of course, this is pure speculation on the bit of info that we've learned. However, I'm sur...
Will see what the future will bring us...
If all is true, the 5970 will have the shortest production run of any Patek Chrono/Perpetual in the company's history (2005-2008???). Having said that, the 5970 will still exceed total production of the 2499, which I believe was in production from approx....
Production
Production runs may be shorter but wouldn't you agree that the total number of pieces is likely much higher for both the 5070 and 5970?
Thanks for the information...
very interesting to see what comes out of the watch fairs this year as replacement for the perpetual chronographs of Patek. I imagine it is a mainstay in their stable of watches therefore a replacement must be incoming. I must admit that I can't wait to s...
5970 order
Couple of months ago, I had an order placed for a 5970R with a 20% deposit with an AD here in the US; Mid December I was told that I will have to pay a higher price (10-15%) due to the anticipated price hike. More recently (few days ago) I was told that i...
Good question!
Hi, Since I got the last catalogue a few weeks ago, I keep looking at this one. Black dial and square diamonds are quite appealing. I could do with them easily. Anybody tempted? Cheers Dje
no
Diamonds are a GIRL'S best friend . No 5070 nor 5971 for me. No matter which brand, precious stones are not for men
OK they are not for men...
... but they are still beautiful on a black dial, they are for girls, on my wrist! Come on the girls! And my wife doesn't dare to wear them so... Dje
5971 is the most beautiful watch I have ever seen
In Asia the 5971 is the most wanted reference in the current grand complicated line. Here the waiting line in most AD is incredibly long. However not every AD can get one. Just like 5020 which most people hate at the time when it was just indroduced, look...
