Patek Philippe 5970P.
In my top 5 fav modern Patek. Now if I had no limits in funds, well... That would be a different story. Best, Nicolas ...
Wonderfull watch 😀
That's where Patek is at its best. 5970g for me please, but that's only a matter of taste
Fantastic watch! One of the icons!
And I personally like P much more than other versions. Interestinly, according to Hodinkee, it is estimated to have been produced in 300 to 500 examples only. Also, according to the same Hodinkee wonderful article "production numbers are not confirmed by ...
Couldn’t agree more. For me, the 5970 in any metal is my favorite reference from the modern era, although P is perhaps my most favored. The other reference that
is either a close second or co-favorite is 5016P (a watch that I can only dream about). Best, Patekova PS - many, many thanks for all your wonderful posts. Over 370,000! !!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely incredible!!!!!!!! ...
5110P, 5100P, 5960A, 5970P, 5070.
Now, if funds are not a problem... 3939, 1579 Steel, 3417 Steel, 5970G Salmon, 5102 Celestial.
That’s some lovely picks
For me.. 5178 (cream dial) 5970 5074 5070 5712 (or 3712) 5074 and 5070 shares the same case design but it doesn’t feel right to leave out either of them I wanted to squeeze in a time calatrava but couldn’t find a ref worthy to be in the top 5
Well the criteria is modern right?
Also I find vintage too small.. I tried a friends 3970 recently and I keep thinking “this would look great on my wife’s wrist”
3417
Nico, I just saw a listing on European Watch Company for a 3417 steel without the amagnetic script on the dial. Appeared to be in excellent condition. No original certificate but has extract from the archives. You could grab one of your top fives……
This is just legendary!
I wish that funds was not a limitation 🥸then… fantastic collection you have!
That watch is simply incredible.
That being said. If I was in the market for one considering the huge price difference I would be absolutely very satisfied with the RG version.
5970 is a
great choice for a top 5 ! Hope to see your wrist shots in the near future !
As many have mentioned all versions of 5970 are amazingly superb
The P version would have been my choice if funds would have been available and if readability would have been better (I know you don’t consider this argument as relevant but still…) The R version is therefore my favorite as I absolutely love the rose gold...
