The key difference between the two is that the 5070P is made using the Nouvelle Lemania movement, which is being phased out. The 5960P has Patek's new inhouse movement. Not only will the 5960P's inhouse movement be availble for a long time, but that movem...

through the crystal back of the 5070s. as i recall the ref 2512 made in the 1950s had a huge case with a nouvelle lemania movement and is considered very much by avid collectors. i personally do not like huge cases but i will make exceptions for the 5070s...
