Two in a row
Two wonderful Pateks arrived within a month. Here are some hastily taken pictures
The first one is the 5270R. I must confess that I also like the white gold, blue dial version so am waiting for my dealer to give me the good news. IMO, the rose gold model kind of gives the watch a vintage feel....
The watch is 41 mm in diameter and looks much better without the 'chin' of the older design...
The other is the 5170G, white dial. While some people may prefer the cleaner black dial, I am personally more drawn to the pulsometer scale, the applied numerals and the dressy layout. The other reason is that I am hoping to receive the 5370P soon so would prefer not to have a very similar looking piece.
Cannot stop marveling at the wonderful in-house Caliber CH 29-535 PS movement....
Thanks for looking.

The 5270R is gorgeous
5370 arriving too ?? That is a great one Looking forward to see more go this reference
The 5270 is spectacular, both on the dial and the movement side.
Congratulations. These are two wonderful pieces. The 5270 is both incredibly elegant and classy. Enjoy them in good health Stefan
This s not a collection anymore: it is a dream
Congratulation, congratulation and a third congratulation for the incoming 5370. Perfect choices from the 5270- and 5170-family. Best Moritz
Thanks Moritz for the kind words
At this moment, the 5370 is just a dream... Best Sam
Very nice watches, congrats!
I spoke with PP Salon about 5370P on Friday and Saturday and it seems very unclear how fast these watches can be delivered. I might get mine during the first half of 2016 or later. I have also been fooling around with the idea of buying 5170. However, tha...
Nice program!
The 3 watches you're moving towards are also references I'm closely looking at. They bring Patek Philippe in the modern era in a very nice way. I made recently a review about the 5370P here: www.watchprosite.com 0 The watch is a marvel. I must say...
Happy with your endorsement Mark
Yes, I have certainly read your wonderful reviews, and please don't underestimate their influence on my decisions. Great respect for your knowledge about the history and evolution of this line, of course. Best Sam
Your too kind Sam
It is a real pleasure to connect and discuss with tasteful collectors like you. Have a nice Sunday Cheers, Mark
Thanks Fernando
Somehow I like PP's offerings this year, including the 175th anniversary pieces, the 5905P and the 5524G Best Sam
Wow! What a duo!
And even if they are two chronographs, they have very different atmosphere and style. Congrats! Fx
Congrats !!!

You are unstoppable Sam!
Massive congrats to you !! ) Thank you for sharing and taking the time to post here. I am drooling at your pics Enjoy in the best of health and looking forward to your future incoming posts Cheers Robin
Thanks Robin
I only wish my photography skills can improve over time, despite having reasonable equipment, Honestly, I am a complete idiot when it comes to taking pictures :P Best Sam
Congrats Sam ! Two at the same time !? It must have been a super "birthday present" !
Which 175th anniversary piece(s) did you get to accompany these two ? Cheers, Gordon
I am still waiting....
Looks like either the 5755G or the 5975P But I am not holding my breath Sam
Very nice & i am sure a joy to wear.
Both watches will always give you pleasure. Big investment , you have my admiration. Cheers Geross.
Congratulations...
... 5270R looks stunning. The 5270g has a very nice blue, and feel totally different. Wear it in good health!
Congratulations!
With 5370P you'll have the ultimate collection of PP chronographs! Well done! Constantin
You are very fortunate and blessed. Congratulations on these 2 great pieces...
The 5270R is my dream watch, so is the 5370P, dream inside a dream ) Awesome problem to have, which ones to wear in your collection, Sam. Rgds Raymond
I will wear the one nearest to my thumb
when I open the safe Thanks for the kind words. Sam
WOW WOW WOW
Congrats! Two amazing timepieces. I too prefer the 5170 white dial. I must also say that if I had a choice, I would go with the 5270R and not the G. I think you have chosen wisely!
Thank you for the kind words Thomas
I believe I am getting the white gold blue dial (5270G-019) soon Sam
Sam, may I also add my congratulations on receiving your two new pieces.
The 5270R is unbelievably gorgeous and must be a dream to wear. Though the 5107 is not a favourite of mine. You cannot argue about the beauty of it's movement
Thanks for your candid comments
Believe it or not, I am getting the 5270G-019 (blue dial) next week Best Sam
Talking of the 5370P......
I have just read on another forum as well as seeing the photos, what must be one of the first 5370P to find it's new home. The owner is Jedly, who many of you will probably already know.
