5970P received today looks ususual?

Dec 31, 2009,21:09 PM
 

Hello Forum,

Today I received my 5970P from my AD. I have noticed a few things about the watch that appear to be different from other 5970's I have seen only in photos. First of all it has 1 diamond on the case between the lugs at 6 o'clock. Secondly, the dial is like a charcoal color as opposed to gloss black and the moon dial is dark blue.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

the diamond is PP sign to indicate it is a platinum case as I remember the dial should be black...black wear it in good health and please post wrist shot soon This message has been edited by Quan on 2009-12-31 21:37:11

The diamond has been set between the lugs on new PT case models for several years now (the 5004p for example does not have it, the 5960p does). The dial color is correct (it's not glossy on this model) and the moonphase is indeed a very dark blue. Congrat... 

Thank you for the feedback.

My Rg and Plat pushers are exactly the same size....Must be an optical conclusion :)

That is a great shot of the plat and Wg side by side.....Makes me realize that the 5970p is one hell of a good looking bit of kit.... M.

is it true that the 5970p will be discontinued? An AD told me there are no more to be had and production has ceased....

Your watch is as Patek Philippe intended it to be.....Enjoy this masterpiece......

Interesting about the pushers I will compare mine with my Rg later..... M.

Don't worry and enjoy it! It's a fantastic watch.

A related question about my 5970J

It seems that the chrono buttons on my 5970J are somewhat different in that the polished surface seems to occupy a bigger portion relative to the bushed portion (looking at the buttons at some angles, sometimes it seems to me that the polished portion on ... 

congrats Simon!
