This is a great post.
I don’t think 5270 gets enough “street cred.” And I get it. It’s hard to follow a 5970. But this is a great reference in its own right. I particularly love the “chin” models. And the P salmon for me is just so interesting. Thanks for sharing these. Well done.

Thank you so much, Gary.
I also think it's a very interesting reference, worth digging into! I personally like the first variant quite a bit.
Many thanks for this post, and your other similar posts.
They will be a useful resource for people researching in advance of a purchase. In this particular post I particularly like the original 5270G. The absence of the tachymeter makes it wonderfully clean. But I would be very happy with any of them. All the b...
Thank you so much, Jon.
Just like you, I like the first variant a lot! Best, Emmanuel
I agree, but I have to admit that as an owner of the 5270G-001 I'm biast 😉
I also like the absence of the tachymeter scale on the current P version. However, the green is a bit too special for me
Also own the first-gen 5270, she's lovely isn't she :-).
And fully agree on the green dial (and gem-set versions, for that matter), a bit too peculiar (as I don't like to use the word gaudy in the context of Patek).
My favourite series.
A big fan of those 3 on white metal with tachymeter scale. The 5270P-014 is quite tempting too.
To me, the Munich variant seems very nice and so does the salmon dial version.
But I think I like the first version even better, even if judging from photos only has limited meaning as the real life experience could be very different. Thanks for looking.
On behalf of the forum,
thanks for another informative post ! The unique T is fabulous! 👍 Which one do you like most?
Thanks for your enthusiasm.
As far as I can tell from photos only (I’ve seen none in real life), I think I like the first version the most: it looks understated and beautiful to me. Here’s another photo of the T. ...
Loving these posts, quattro!
I think the salmon with Arabics here. But ask me tomorrow and I'd pick another...
I feel the same, Bruckner! So hard to make a choice.
"On paper", the very first iteration has my preference, but who knows how I would feel in real life?
Thanks for sharing! It’s the P Salmon for me
Dial color and hour index in a Platinum case made it extra special topping with a tachymetre scale which should be present at all times for a chronograph.
I see your point concerning the tachymeter,
and I certainly understand why you like the P Salmon. But, for whatever reason, I think the 1st version has my preference (clean and simple); but would I feel the same in real life? I couldn't tell. Thanks for looking.
Fantastic post
I think every version of the 5270 is a winner. I get why some people dont like the chin version, it is a little.... different. For me the 1st version of either the G or P are the big winners. 5270g-001 - beautiful, clean, versatile dial, markers, handset ...
Also like to point out
The 5270g-001 is the only reference in the entire lineage to have a) vertical brushed dial like the advanced research watches b) vertical line counters vs the railroad counters
Thanks for pointing out these details or specificities.
I couldn’t agree more with what you say. The G-001 is the winner for me, at least on photos. In real life, I couldn’t tell, unfortunately. Best.
The best looking for me is the 5270G-018
I feel this watch is too empty without the tachymeter scale
It’s certainly a nice redesign, but
I’m personally not fond of the “so-very-short” markers at 3 and 9 nor of the pyramid markers at 4, 5, 7 and 8. Moreover, I like the purity/vacuity of the first version. Thanks for your comment.
I see what you mean
For me, I wish they can integrate the day-nite and leap year indicators into the running seconds and chrono minute subdials. The current design is just too bottom heavy, specially since the subdials are below the 3-9 axis m. I also just noticed something ...
Yes, it’s a flaw of the design of all models, confirmed
in the Monochrome review from which this screenshot is taken. PS: I call it a flaw, but it’s probably a deliberate aesthetic choice as 7 sub seconds markers would look crowded. ...
they could have used 4 intervals
then it would still make sense.. Like how the 1815 rattrapante uses 3 intervals (6 would be crowded), as it’s a 3Hz watch.
Yes it does.
And a chrono without a scale is a bit strange. But I like the clean aesthetic of this first iteration.
thank you!
Emmanuel, thank you for putting this together. I can find beauty in all models
Thank you for showing me this bespoke piece unique:
I've been able to add it to the thread. Best, Emmanuel
