Both the 5970 and 5270 are nice.

The 5970 is discontinued and so you would need to search for one on the secondary market. Prices vary considerably based on condition.

The 5270 should be available at ADs and the Patek in-house movement is superb. Some people argue that Patek produced too many 5270s, leading to a supply surplus.

It is a personal choice. But if you like your name on the Certificate and plan to keep the watch long-term, I would suggest the 5270.
