1st Patek... 5070.
Just got it today. The watch that makes you ( almost ) forget about all the other watches. I keep on looking at it every 2 minutes, and it never looks the same.
1st impression was how the dial plays with the light in a unique way. The watch looks and feels very different in reality. The mouse grey dial catches the light like no other dial.
2nd impression, is the finishing. Simply the best i've seen. The watch feels like a true piece of art.
3rd impression, the proportions, the hands, the pushers and the crown thickness, just beautiful. And the sub-dials, that are basically looking back at you
Only 1 drawback! This watch makes all my other watches look almost ridiculous next to it 
Enjoy!
P.s: Big thanks Miles and especially Bruno, for the fantastic pics they've posted here. They've kept brewing in my mind

Congratulations on your very beautiful 5070...............
When I looked at your 1st photo, I thought that it was W/G. It was only after looking at the rest that I realised my mistake.
Congratulations !!
I have the same feelings about that watch. I've owned several other nice watches and loved all of them but nothing can't beat a 5070 . I have mine more or less 3 years and I still love it as much as the first day I got it ( strange because all my other wa...
Couldn't hear sweeter words...
actually, i was saying to myself that when i bought all my other watches, the wow factor was strong but different. Here, i feel that this one is here to stay, simple because its going to be very hard to beat!
A Classic among all the current Chronos.
In the top 5, IMO. Congrats, I can tell you that you're a lucky guy! And Welcome here! Best, Nicolas
Great Watch....
Wear it in good health...I love to see someone love a watch this way..
Strange....
... a good friend of mine that collects watches too tells me this everytime i buy a top watch. He told me the same when i got a RM011, but it broke down after 1 month, and addiction didnt pick up. I got the lange timezone, i couldn't find another 42mm wat...
Comparing this to your previous experience...
Congratulations on a fine timepiece. You mentioned that you had an RM011 - how did this experience compare to the receipt of the RM011? Cheers, Peter
good question...
... i simply couldn't resist the RM011. I wasn't planning to buy it, temptation was jst too strong when i saw it and tried it on. While i've been hunting the patek for more then a year. So you know, the longer the wait the stronger the pleasure Plus when ...
congrats ,
5070R is a very stunning Patek , but may be am i biased : i enjoy mine greetings from France
From a friend that had dinner...
.... with Mr Patek, he asked him which Patek in his opinion represented the best his brand. He said that it was the 5970. Btw, you will never believe whats his daily wearer... the Aquanaut! At least that's what he told him
Congratulations! Beautiful Patek!
You must be thrilled to bits. I look forward to the day I get to own a Patek.
indeed, a unique sensation...
... i understand now those that sell all their collection to get a Patek. Clearly stands apart.
Utterly beautiful...
Congratulations on your first Patek. This is quite a Patek to start off with!
