Wonderful pair of chronos Nicolas !
5070G is well loved and I understand why. For me, four numerals being partially cut off is not my preference. I would prefer them being taken out. Its super soft pusher is similar to a hot knife cutting through butter, very delicious !
The 5960 in steel is sporty and attractive, especially with the red hands ! The pushers need more effort to activate than 5070 though.
All in all, both are great pieces to have !
In my opinion....
The 5070G doesn't have a lot of competition that is equally attractive, whereas the 5960A has a hell of a lot of sports chrono competition that are, in my opinion, even better executed........
Filip, you’re right that there are lots of sports chronos, but…
…not so many with: - flyback chronograph; - annual calendar; and - power reserve indicator. The 5960 is pretty special, particularly with the first Patek automatic chronograph movement. All the best, Jon
Christmas has come early!
What a remarkable pair! Different yet go so very well together! Beautiful!
I have never met you, Nicolas, and yet ...
you seem to have greatly influenced my tastes! Here are the Pateks in my collection. ...
I think the arrow of causation runs only from you to me, my friend!

The 5070 is one of those watches that look wrong but is also so right
The movement is clearly too small for the case, or conversely the case is clearly too big for the movement. This is evidenced by how far the two subdials are away from the perimeter of the bezel, and in turn the gap between the bezel and the edge of the c...
I’ve always loved 5070.
Frankly I’m surprised its value hasn’t increased at all over the past decade.
If i remember correctly this is a limited edition from the UK !!
Still the 5235 for me 😉
Dressy cool, for me: 5070.
The 5960 is racing inspired and this universe doesn't speak to me.
The 5960a has increasingly made an impression as a truly sporty sport watch.
Do you like the white dial or black dial version better?

The main issue I have with the 5960 is the calendar windows at 2 and 10..
it’s somewhat unbalanced..
