Miles - many many congratulations this is wonderful. I chased one hard, and my research was 5 pieces - but 3, 5 or 50 it frankly doesn't matter, it is such a beautiful thing. As for the dial, I have the London 3940 salmon/rose and they look very similar. Sham - if the one I saw in London recently is the same one you saw, I can say there is something odd or different about the dial colour on that one: darker, more bronze/beige than pink...
The wait is over!!!!!
Hi Guys. The agonising wait is over. I am so pleased to be able to share with you fellow Patek nuts my beautiful London Saatchi gallery exhibition 5970g with Salmon/Rose dial. Words or pictures can't ever do this beautiful piece justice so please enjoy. I...
Perfect colour combination on your wrist!
I am not an envious person but that watch of yours (and I do not even like the 5970 range) is stirring some new emotions in me! Enjoy and keep it safe! Best wishes, Sham
Sham I'm trying to get the dial colour pictured. It's incredibly difficult to do.
Here is another one. ...
Many will know
that my number one criteira when buying a watch is that it must suit my wrist both in size and colour. That watch of yours was made for your wrist Miles! I am pretty sure the same watch on another wrist would not have the same effect (on me at least Thank...
Can you remind me please?
How many pieces of this sought after watch were produced? I was offered a 3940R London edition a fortnight ago and the dial was quite unappealing compared to your salmon dial. Thanks Miles.
Well done Miles!
A limited edition of three is almost unheard of in Patek circles. Thank you for showing the watch to us (unlike the other two lucky sods! ) Best wishes, Sham
It's a true beauty wahoo. And this dial is just stunning. Huge congrats
Wear it in good health. Best wishes Alkiro
An excellent choice ! The salmon dial ...
matches the strap perfectly ! This combo of chrono function with PC is simply fantastic. How many pieces were made for this Limited Edition ? Cheer, Gordon
last pics is stunning...
... and crisp with no reflections, this salmon dial has almost a kind of calming effect? Or is it me?
Magnificent!
The 5970 is on my list as the best watch Patek has made in modern times - that is, the last 30 years. The combination you have is simply breathtaking and indeed very rare. Big congratulations! Cheers!
Speechless. One of the most gorgeous dials I have ever laid eyes upon.
Big congratulations on the new acquisition and wear it in good health. Oh, and please feel free to share pics with us, that is amazing.
Top of the Top! Huge congrats.
There are watches which have more and new complications, there are watches which need bigger budgets, BUT even with the endless budget, this 5970 with salmon dial is definitely the top of the top and number one for me in the whole horology world. It is pu...
Huge congrats
New to this forum and been snooping around for a good couple of years now but its time to give a comment finally. Seen this piece in the flesh before at a Patek minute repeater event a couple of month ago and this is such a beautiful watch. True holy grai...
Absolutely stunning.....
......one of the most astonishing references and in such a superb combination. Congratulations to you....
Pinnacle of horology. And you have it. And its a super brand. Patek. :-)
Congratulations. My admiration. You have what it takes to be a collector. Best wishes. Geross

Hi Alex!
If you are referring to the one at David Duggan's, it did look remarkably similar to yours but I must confess, I only had a quick glance
Congratulations for this stunning piece. Great color combination.
Hope you will settle down soon from the excitement and adjust the day and month. Cheers Jim
A magnificent grail watch!
Stunning colour combination! Warmest congrats!! Best, Thomas
Lemania at its best! Enjoy wearing them in good health
looking forward to more wrist shots
Hopefully
There will be similar watches available for the New York exhibition next summer.
Beautiful.
Nothing that I dislike about this maybe the only problem with it,Is that I can\'t get my hands on one Enjoy it in the best of health and would like to see it one day in metal,I am sure it will be even better. Best, Ahmed
An absolutely beautiful piece!
Congratulations on your acquisition and wear it for many years ahead in the best of health! KR
Salmon
Absolutely gorgeous .Congrats and wear it with good health and Patek offered us a shot at owning a salmon dial piece. Enjoy
What a great news!
First, welcome on our forum Miles I remember when it was quite hard finding pictures about these 5 pieces LEs and so on during the London Exhibition. We could have a look at a happy owner of the 5070 Salmon dial launched during the same event and reviewed...
Thank you Mark.
Yes it had to be the prettiest watch I\'ve ever seen. My eyes just agree with all of it and so does my heart. Which for me in 20 years of watch collecting has always been my driving force. I wear every watch I\'ve ever had. But tell me please Mark there i...
Miles again congratulations
I have a 5070J Re edition and i am very fortunate as well. I have seen one other one as i stated earlier at an event and the gentleman wore it also with great pleasure. Instantly while i spotted the watch i knew enough, it was the wow factor. Of all re ed...
Thank you Dozza
Your absolutely right in what you say. But I can say 5970g 3 pieces so I\'m told. M
That was exactly the same what they told me about my 5070J.
Like i said u got a beautiful watch there and if they told u it is 3 then all the better haha. I can tell u i have seen 1 in the flesh, yours on this forum so we are on the lookout for mystery man/woman number 3 haha. Again, I can\'t get enough of the gre...
Yes please. I love the 5070 as much.
But I don\'t know about you but it is very difficult to get a picture which replicates the Salmon colour. Look forward to seeing yours. M
Well every picture so far has been fantastic.
But i can understand it as it is difficult with the special dials sometimes to get a real reflection of what it looks like in the flesh. ...
Yes I remember seeing that watch now.
Absolutely beautiful. Wow that dial is stunning. I would love to see a natural daylight pic or even better in person sometime. Enjoy and huge congrats to you too. What colour to PP call your dial?? M
So happy to see you enjoy it as it deserves
We like reading about what watches bring to their owners and this is a great story to live with you. About your question, I read at the time it was 5 pieces but as Patek didn't want to communicate about them, it was really hard to get reliable information...
Many congrats Miles......
........truly wonderful piece, my first Patek in 1996 was a salmon dial 5000R, a little lower in the food chain that this epic piece admittedly - Patek does salmon so well.
Here is a library shot.
A bit small these days but it was my first PP so a lot of sentimental value to me. ...
