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

Just one picture of my Grail: Patek 5970P.
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...
Agree my friend.
It is very close to perfection for all the reasons you mention. Although it is funny that your favourite version is my least favourite version. Good job we are all different. You certainly know you have something very special on your wrist with any 5970. ...
White metal with heft is appropriate for your taste Nicolas !
This 5970P understandably a “complicated” grail for you. However, as I recall, you have quite a few grails. 🤣
Great shot. Very seldom seen indeed. Same as these 2.
Yours truly and our good friend Ahmed. M. ...
It’s always interesting to meet another owner...
We found that we had many similar interests.
I have to agree with Miles
Each and every iteration of 5970 is great : G is the most versatile, J is the rarest (if you except the salmon dial one of course), P is the one recognized my many collectors as the grail, but R is the most beautiful from all. Obviously you can’t make a m...
Great minds Mike.
Having been fortunate enough to own P,G and R and putting a J on my wrist on several occasions for me the R is beautiful and so very classic Patek even more so than the J. For me that is. M.
I also prefer the RG version.
For me it has the most harmonious dial because of the date windows in dial colour. Best Thomas
I hesitate in my decision (I am torn).
On the one hand, after selling my Patek annual calendar (I departed from it to fund my IWC MR), I am tempted to own a PP again. On the other hand, I am suspicious of the hype surrounding this brand, which I do not like 100%. I think you really have to loo...
We share this vice
The more I dive into the world of PP, the more I‘m convinced the 5970P is what I need to complete my two-watch PP „collection“.
Any 5970 would do that job.
Good luck with your quest for your 2 watch PP Collection. M.
Hmmm... your suggestion of the R made me think
Still I‘m most attracted to the P, then the G. Your beautiful salmon version not being part of the contest, for obvious reasons.
Of complicated, regular production Pateks from the “modern era” (which for me begins with 3940/3970), 5970P is my clear favorite.
If I were to include application pieces my absolute favorite would be 5016P, a watch which I can only enjoy in my mind. ...
Indeed what a grail.
I think any 5970 would be sort of an end game piece for some collectors, including myself. For proportions wise I like the 3970 a bit more...but the 5970 is undeniably a “blue chip” Patek reference... (wiping my drool off the keyboard as I type). Best Gat...
