adding a little yellow to the rotation

Well... I have been hanging out with no_frills way too much. I have been in search for a 5970J for about 3 months now. My search concluded today. I only found 3-4 5970J’s readily available and for sale in the world on this search. In contrast, I came across ~15 5970P's. If anyone wants a P let me know. Maybe I will be fortunate enough to add the P to my collection one day as well. I saw some good deals on pre-owned P. Many G’s and R’s were offered. I am not kidding. But for now the J is the latest addition!

I want to thank SteelerFan and VC for their help. It is really nice to add the old (5970) to the new (5270). And some J to my G... I am going to have to agree with hutchman, the 5270 is a more advanced and exact watch from case to movement. The 5270 represents the present and the future. The 5970 represents the last of the past. And the J is fitting to me because it is the most “classic” of the 5970 references.

About the 5970J… It debuted at Basel 2008. The reference was manufactured for 9 months. Distributed for roughly 12 months from what I am told. It was discontinued for the 5970P at Basel 2009. I confirmed with Patek that it was indeed the least produced 5970 by many. Is uses the Caliber CH 27-70Q movement by Lemania finished by Patek. The case is 40MM (truly it is 39mm)

I am truly blessed to be able to particpate in this hobby and own such great works of art.
