Mine is now with Patek for a service. I never wear mine with anything other than jeans....so it has picked up an occasional scratch. It is over 5 years since the plastic was opened for me...well actually almost 5 years to the day. So I am also celebrating a milestone. I miss mine....but when it comes back, it will be like new.
All is in the title. It took me quite a long time to find and buy my 5070. It was quite a surprise, as I was in the list for a P, but after 2 years of wait, I understood that I will not get it. Before the P, I always lurked on the G. The epitome of a cool...
Luckily I'm sitting, otherwise I would have fallen fainted in front of such beauty! More years pass and the more I appreciate this model: is perhaps the habit of seeing him or my taste evolves, or maybe knowing that it belongs to another period is forgive...
I am very sorry for what you tell me... As a great lover of watchmaking I know that there is something of our heart in every watch we have: at least those that we do not resell, but this is another matter. I wish with all my heart that you had to replace ...

On having 4 years of joy with your lovely PP 5070! Nice to read your story on this watch along with the other high end chronos you featured. All the chronos on your pictures are all pure eye candies. Thank you for sharing. I am in NY this week for work an...
These are very special and beautiful watches, indeed icons. It is surprising what the design of a case and bezel in combination with a dial can do to a watch. It can make it look bigger or smaller. I believe that the PP5070G is about 42mm so the same size...
and understand it. This 5070 chrono has really become one of my favorite patek and I must say owning this version or the P one would make me a happy man. Thanks for the pictures Nicolas and congratz for being its owner. Cheers, Mark
And... The movement of the 5070. It is certainly a matter of taste, but for me, the 5070 is much more appealing. Thanks for your kind words, John. Nicolas
The 5070 in white gold has a super readability. A very elegant and gorgeous watch. For me, much more attempting than the current model. Have you noticed that the top of chronograph hand has been very nicely bended just like those in the 5004. The hand on ...
.....the whole range of 5070s were loved by collectors....those that had them, just loved their watches. Those that didn't have them acknowledged just how cool and desirable they were. Then, Patek developed their own movement rather than the Lemania.....a...
...but I was so disappointed when I tried one G on my wrist some time long ago. NO not disappointed by the watch OMG, but disappointed by my too small chicken's wrist which does not fit with the relatively large size of 5070. Probably also because I am mo...

.....i have 4 at service....5110G, 3483 and 5070P with Patek and perpetual calendar JLC. And do you know what, I am thinking about those four all of the time. What I have found interesting is the relative cost of getting the watches serviced. Lets put it ...
At service, and that obsesses me a lot... Among them, my 2 beloved Vintage Deep Sea Alarms. This year, I opted for funding the services of my watches, rather than adding some others. This is such a cost! Well, if I can find the right insert ofr my 5508, I...
It just got what it takes to be a reference among chronographs. I never saw all the versions next to each other. My personal choise would be the yellow gold one with black dial now that I see them. But I understand your moment of doubt. Fe my endorphin le...
The Pt was my first choice, but the love affair with the white gold was even longer. So, not really a second choice. But I must admit that for once, the yellow gold made me doubt. Really cool with this black dial! Thanks for your kind words and feedback, ...
Happy 4th birthday to 5070G & its sibling. Congratulation Nico for having such a remarkable collection. Pity me, I am still searching for my 1st 5070G.
I recently had a very very VERY difficult evening. And you know why Nicolas... I was happy, I was light-hearted, I was reckless of the consequences... until I spent the whole evening with this 5070G on the wrist, tortured by its appeal and simply mesmeriz...
Such a great piece Nicolas Cool, is definitely the word for it.. The datograph is a better watch, but this is definitely much cooler and more charming! Great pictures and great comparison pictures too Nicolas Best, Sam
The G version gives the watch a lot technical and sporty touch. With super good readability and a lot of strap color possibilities. G is beautiful. In my memory, R is also very attractive with light grey dial. The opinion on J is divided. Some close colle...
The G is maybe a bit more polyvalent than the even cooler P. Agreed on the J. Mixed feelings, but somehow this combo is very attractive. The More Vintage of them? Best, Nicolas.
