I cannot get rid of looking at this Patek 5070G.




A timeless beauty. 

Enjoy,

Nicolas

5070 with 3 counters? Please donโ€™t On the other hand... donโ€™t think I would like a Daytona with 2 counters Same for the speedmaster.... omega does make it with 2 counters and Iโ€™ll pick the 3 counters in a heartbeat

It's so wrong it's right.

Maybe an odd thing to say I know but when the 5070 first came out it looked wrong to me. The case was too big for the Lemania movement. Steps in the case. The cut off numerals my eyes just said No. I wanted a Patek Chronograph so much as a complicated man... 

Different for me..,.

5070p was the first Patek I ever bought. I saw it and just had to have it. 2009, I think. Remained enamoured with it ever since. Factor X.

My friend does that make you a shower and me a grower??๐Ÿ˜‰

 
 By: Miles_151 : September 18th, 2018-06:49
Seriously Iโ€™m pleased it hit you with its X factor immediately. It has hit me since with gusto. M.

I would think that....

....we normally operate the other way around. You usually see and know immediately, right. I usually shoot from the hip and make mistakes.

True. I do. Which means it is possible to change ones first impressions.

Right which 5980 did I like??? ๐Ÿ™ˆ M.

LOL!!! [nt]

My first 5070

Funny!

I bought the 5070P later and then sold the G. But I dream of collecting the set of 4 metals often with the J being one id like to own next. Best

He he... I know several who did it... ;)

Wow Nicolas, that is one of my goals in the near future :-)

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : September 19th, 2018-08:33
I currently have the G and J, actually have 2 Gs and would like to get the P and R in the future. Even though they are the same reference, to my eye they are so different in person due to the case hue and dial color. PURE CLASS !!

You know i agree with you 100% [nt]

Lovely

Beautiful shot. The 5070 is getting better as each year passes.

The sign it is a Classic. [nt]

Perfect ugly duckling

 
 By: GreatPilot@me.com : September 18th, 2018-12:23
And I say that in the most loving way, the numerals are too far into the center, case size is 42mm, the movement doesnโ€™t fill the case and the counters are pushed in too far despite removing 9 and 3 numerals! I have the 5960A and am hoping to get a 5070 s... 

;) Superbly put! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : September 18th, 2018-13:02

Yup! Very complimentary!!!! [nt]

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 18th, 2018-21:02

Hmmmm, is it a project? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : September 18th, 2018-23:31

Im thinking very hard about it

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 19th, 2018-04:00
I have an other of higher priority, and I would require some serious selling to get it, so...maybe...

LOL,....naaa...Iโ€™m just trying to understand my priorities. I have come above the number of watches that I am comfortable with.

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 19th, 2018-22:40
If I get it, I must let some pieces go that I like. I already bought 5 watches this year so I will take a pause and think a little bit before I do something I might regret

:) [nt]

Stunning watch and picture! Normal that you cannot stop looking at it

 
 By: 1WatchMan : September 18th, 2018-13:53
And do you wear it much?

:)))) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : September 19th, 2018-14:11
