I agree that it is hard to make a purchase decision without seeing a watch in person. If you have the opportunity, I would recommend visiting a city with many ADs and/or pre-owned watch stores and try on some watches. In Asia, I would say HK is your best place. In Europe, I would recommend London or Geneva.

You can also ask Jamie from Boodles if he can get the 5271P for you in a timely fashion and what he thinks of the watch knowing your existing collection.



Most people will agree that Patek has over-produced the 5270G with so many different versions. We shall see if the over-production continues with the other metal colors in R, J and P. In my opinion, many people buy the pre-owned 5970 as an "investment", whereas I don't see people doing that with the 5270. So it may be different groups of people buying the 5970 vs the 5270.

I just find out.

5971P prodution year from 2007 to 2010. ( not 100% sure)
