All I want for Christmas….is You….
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-04:26
Yes, this is my dream come true, finally after years of collecting, contemplating. Today, I welcome this 5270G-013 (Jay Leno special 🫣😜). Since its release back in Nov 2013, there has been lots of controversy. Previous moderators “Mark in Paris”, “Small L...
Great addition
By: Cozmopak : December 3rd, 2023-04:45
I feel like this one is undervalued as well in the world of Patek PCC
Thank you kindly,,,,back in 2014, I had chance to buy both steel blue And white 5711s…
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-06:38
I feel a bit flimsy and not too attracted to it…later on, as you know, getting one at retail becomes “impossible”, but I’m open to a 5711/1R or new 5811, if I can get one from AD. My collection theme is about families, hence the spectrum.

Huge congrats on an important milestone! 🙏
By: 1WatchMan : December 3rd, 2023-07:10
I fully understand your thoughts, very aligned here! 😉 Enjoy this grail in the best health! 🥂 Your Patek collection is fantastic, by the way, there are other very special pieces too...
Appreciate your nice words, my friend 🙏🏻

My background is Engineering, so I’m programmed to be logical. I’m very fortunate and happy to be where I am. This honeymoon is going to be long 😊😎
Always better to buy when you can and enjoy
By: Derreck : December 3rd, 2023-16:31
If you wait sometimes prices spiral up and you miss the chance. What’s bought is bought and yours. Well done for not missing this opportunity, I wish you many happy days filled with joy and beautiful watches
Thank you so much, Gerard 😊
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-09:07
I have all I need and want…I don’t need 5 Nautiluses or 6 Aquanauts etc…I like varieties and differences. It’s a happy collection and I’m contented. Cheers 🥂
Amazing collection!
By: smironov : December 3rd, 2023-12:39
May I ask what would you have kept if decided to take it down to 3-5 pieces only? Thx
It will be very hard to do so.
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-16:24
First question is, why need to take it down? If it’s bad financial reasons, I think everything will go, correct? At that point, who cares about these watches? 😅 My collection theme makes it difficult for me to consolidate but if some must go, it might be ...
Wonderful addition!! 🥰
By: penfriend : December 3rd, 2023-09:15
I have been eying exactly the same pcc for some time now. This dial would be my choice as well as I a m a sucker for white dials (or the salmon from two years ago). Only thing that keeps me from getting one is the pc - I am already too lazy to get the moo...
A well thought out decision.
By: Miles_151 : December 3rd, 2023-09:35
I get your decision process and love the time this carefully considered purchase has taken. It’s all about this journey rather than just filling one’s watch box or boxes. It also fits in your collection perfectly. Congratulations and wear and stare in goo...
Thank you Miles for your nice words 🙏🏻
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-16:39
I put a lot of thought into shaping my collection….i try my best to begin with end in mind. Along the way there may be new releases that alter the path, the final destination is not different by much. There are other things to enjoy in life so I set prior...
Yes it can be difficult to justify sometimes.
By: Miles_151 : December 3rd, 2023-20:10
I am pleased you have an END in sight. Please share with me your secret as I just can’t see an end anywhere and this never ending search for the next fix won’t ever stop I fear. 🙏🏼🙏🏼. M.
At the end of the day, the “pleasure” and “desire” seems identical…
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-20:28
The answer is in you and me, not the watch or watch to be had. We all have that super excited and happy feeling when we obtain a “new” watch but as time goes by, it will subside. The way I collect is to fill voids, once I filled the void in a collection, ...
Anything but clueless you are.
By: fmc000 : December 3rd, 2023-11:03
Congrats for obtaining your grail. I'm really not a Patek kind of guy but I can appreciate your amazing collection for sure!
I updated my account to clueless few years ago…
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-16:43
When I saw all of a sudden, “collectors” were popping up left and right, lol…. I am not a true Patek fan as I collect compliment or “opponent” brands 😬. I collect Lange, Rolex and Omega.
Congratulation! The 5270G is a great choice 👍🏼
By: Watchlover42 : December 3rd, 2023-11:51
My pick was the 5270G-001 as I like the clean dial without tachymeter scale. But hey, this is the good thing. There are many 5270 variants out there for all the different preferences
Thank you! I tried on the 5270 G-001 last year too…
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-16:46
I felt something missing and the “metallic” look brush dial didn’t speak to me but like you said, there is something for everyone 👍🏻 It is good to have options.
Bravo
By: TeutonicCarFan : December 3rd, 2023-12:32
Congratulations on this milestone. I agree the PCC is the way to go as the big daddy watch. Love this ref. As much as I'm not as into patek as some since I find their finishing and power reserves need a just up in some areas.... this is to me the epitome ...
The strength of PP are their case design, movement and wearability.
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-18:04
I agree with your observations on their low power reserves on their 324/240 but this 5270 has 55-65hr which is much nicer. I don’t prefer some Langes that are too thick and 36hr power only. When I compared this with the Langematik PC, I knew right there o...
Superb!
By: pw927 : December 3rd, 2023-13:34
This is a stellar watch for your stellar collection!
Heartiest congratulations to you, Raymond!
By: edtonkin : December 3rd, 2023-16:04
I am VERY excited for you as I know you have been wanting one of these phenomenal timepieces. So glad you got your wish fulfilled. It’s really beautiful. Your Patek collection is really quite something. I hope you wear this new acquisition and all your wa...
Thank you Thank you…Ed.
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-18:09
This watch makes me feel completely proud of myself, haha. I still hope to admire your epic PCC and Split Seconds PCC one day. Your collection is an inspiration and to be able to see them someday will be a highlight of any collector. Enjoy our specialty P...
Thank you 🥂
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-18:10
Congratulations R!
By: Darron : December 3rd, 2023-17:59
Thanks for sharing the journey; we all can relate to the painstaking calculus we do in determining the “right” model and then finding a the “perfect” example of the particular reference when buying a discontinued model. Now for the silly question… do you ...
Thank you Darron.
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-18:18
It is not easy to buy anything unseen and any watches that are pre-own. I used to buy only brand new watches previously because I only trust myself in taking great care of mine. PS: The answer is “No” in this case but my collection has changed with time. ...
Haha, you are always so nice Gordon.
By: Clueless_Collector : December 3rd, 2023-18:19
I still have not had chance to visit HK but when that opportunity comes, it will be nice to see your “World” Class Enamel collection 👍🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thank you very much Patekova 🙏🏻🥂
By: Clueless_Collector : December 4th, 2023-00:04
Your previous post of polling the PCCs during pandemic is also a valuable source for my decision. I will always admire your 5970/5020s but still happy to own what I have. Just like many people visiting Louvre, for Monalisa, we can’t own that but it’s equa...
The same discussion of this 5270G were “speculated” 8 yrs ago…
By: Clueless_Collector : December 4th, 2023-01:39
And yet it hasn’t happen, which I don’t really care because it works to my advantage and benefit. I just cannot unsee the value just from the watch alone, not it’s potential for future. Yes I do put a lot of thoughts in having as much spectrum and variant...
amazing
By: Nessuno : December 4th, 2023-09:34
what else? congratulations this is really a great collection!!

About damn time! ;))
By: KCLQMULKU : December 10th, 2023-18:27
I always thought you not only needed a Patek PCC, but your collection deserved one! Nice background story too, and feel I understand how you reached the end point to quite a remarkable journey! Of course you cannot go wrong with any of the 5270 variants, ...
I really have that “Begin with the end in mind” mentality….
By: Clueless_Collector : December 10th, 2023-19:51
All good things must come to an end eventually….not saying I might change again if something better happens but that is it for now and journey is complete. Thank you very much, my friend 🙏🏻🙌🏻
