The 3970 for me but only because you don’t have a 5970 in the line up.
Sep 28, 2021,08:01 AM
I love everything about the 3970 apart from the most crucial for me its proportions. As hard as I have tried it just doesn’t look right on my wrist. “The hamburger “ is just too small and too thick for me.
The 5270 leaves me cold also with lacking Patek DNA. The 5970 in any format ticks all the boxes.
Hope that helps and if I were a much smaller person with small wrists the choice would be an easy one.
3970.

I am in the minority but…

I prefer the 3970 to the 5970. The 5970 had the case upsized but not the movement and it shows. When you look at the 3970, it’s proportions are consistent throughout. You think the 5270 is well balanced. I even am ok with the “chin” models, though those n...

I have a 5270R on strap and have often considered getting the 1st generation as a compliment,..the 5270 range of watches are just sublime!

and also, the new in-house movement is way better with a number of patents. Regardless, we also cannot ignore the 3970 and 5970 given the historical significance. If budget is not an issue, then get all three models. Can't go wrong with any of the PCC ref...
Relevant? Relevant to what?

I don't know what the question means! But I know they're two amazing watches, and that if I could have one, it would be the 3970.

....I think so too... (just my opinion).
I like, own and wear both for different reasons.

3970 is a stunner for me with its classic design. A pretty full dial, lovely case and wonderful old-school movement. My 5270 is a G of the very first series with its spacious and clean dial design which I love. Case is of classic style and the in-house mo...

For me the 3970 and 5970
By: Miles_151 : September 28th, 2021-19:02
With their none in house Lemania movements with Geneva seal and smaller size case look more vintage. IMO the 5970 was the last nod to the long vintage line. To me this is Patek DNA and the 5270 is a modern watch which is absolute genius as a PCC but it ju...
