Then you should really.....
go get it before it is too late 
This piece will always has its place in history once they are all gone.
It is the first piece , together with 5970R , that Patek decided to launch its 5970 series base on 2499 first series.
Money comes , money goes but this watch will stay with you if you buy it and enjoy for many many years.
Imho, it is a very safe purchase and not much financial risk. If possible, you should really go get one and try it out.
We only live once

Images of ds favourite watch :-)
Congrats ds, it is a beauty and I love the fact that it looks like you are truly wearing it Cheers, CL...
thanks cl
for posting my 5970 pics and yes i wear my watches thats the only reason a person should buy a watch or car imho i wanted to own a prep clender before i reached 30 and im glad i did so that i dont buy more watches or at least try to
ds that is an excellent idea............
Get your grail watch right from the start and then you don't have to keep on buying and selling. I wish that I had done that, unfortunately I didn't know anything about PP back then. Your 5970 is a beautiful watch.
great
ones there DS! However I might not agree with you owning your grail watch sooner so you could avoid buying more later... because they will be more new grail watches coming your way and older/existing ones that you haven't discovered or you haven't begun t...

i agree with you but to me a 5970 is very hard to beat its such a classic looking watch and to top that its a patek i own a few other watches just so that i swap them around and i try to get ss, yellow gold, and rose in my watch collection plus on leather...
sounds familiar
I thought my 3940 was the GRAIL watch, then came 5140, then came datograph, resonance,......duometre plat soon?...gyrotourby2 ... gruelling but exciting...I love the journey. It's very safe to say my condition ends up a collection of grail watches over ti...
I no longer believe in grail watch.....
now I believe in grail combo This is my grail combo for 'mainstream' watch category. It's impossible to have one GRAIL watch but I will keep trying, it's like having one wife :P *CL...
Congrats DS...
on a wonderful watch. As CL has very well expressed, 5970 in any guise is just about the quintessential PP in our generation. I have to agree that indeed there is no perfect collection PERIOD. However, there is a perfect collection for THAT period of time...
thanks rob
quintessential PP is exactly what came on my mind when i saw this watch fro the first time
Before 30
I struggled even to keep a car before 30, not to mention a watch which is not an essential item in life. Congradulation, you have done well.
CL, I have said before and I shall say it again.............
Your 5970G is simply stunning & I love it and want it!!!!!!!! LOL
Then you should really.....

Actually, you already have a grail Patek....
the perpetual calendar 5140G You don't really need that additional chronograph. I never use them for anything. It just happen that I'm a fan of manual wind watch and I don't remember seeing a manual wind Patek Perpetual Calendar. If not, I think I will wa...
