Between a 5070p vs 5970g or r ( all comparably priced ), which would you pick and why?

iazrollie · 31 January 2015, 11:26 PM

No brainer. 5970. It's the ultimate PP, save the split seconds and sky-moons. Also, I think the three sub-dials are more balanced than the two on the 5070. I also feel the bezel on the 5070 is too thick. Plus, 5970 has a PC in addition to the chrono.

RussW · 31 January 2015, 11:30 PM

2 icons and no wrong answer. The 5970 is the sensible choice. But for me the 5070p is a little more beautiful, so I'd choose the 5070p.

Racerdj · 31 January 2015, 11:30 PM

Without question, the 5970!

Passionata · 31 January 2015, 11:39 PM

both are beautiful but the 5970 even more beatiful

texex91 · 31 January 2015, 11:49 PM

Of those two 5970

Vipes · 1 February 2015, 12:27 AM

5970 but the blue 5070p ain't bad either.

AK797 · 1 February 2015, 12:35 AM

5970p

unknown · 1 February 2015, 12:44 AM

5070P without doubt

5970 is very nice but the 5070 is unique

More complicated does not mean more beautiful

I am pretty sure a 5970 will always be pretty easy to find, 5070P is another story. I think I know 4 of them for sale, worldwide … 5970 ? 40 piece or more

One day it will be VERY, VERY difficult to buy a 5070P

Daytonaman799 · 1 February 2015, 12:59 AM

5970...its the ultimate watch

jjnd08 · 1 February 2015, 01:40 AM

Gotta go 5970 as well.

mps354 · 1 February 2015, 01:42 AM

I think I'd go 5970, but that would be a great choice to have

Agree

5070P for its simplicity and the fantastic blue dial and its uniqueness.

SearChart · 1 February 2015, 01:58 AM

5970 of course!

Chasseur · 1 February 2015, 02:15 AM

Sorry 3970, because I don't like square buttons

s14roller · 1 February 2015, 02:18 AM

5970

unknown · 1 February 2015, 02:27 AM

just gave it a second thought ….

looked at these pictures ….

and ….. Hell, there is nothing more beautiful than a 5070P LOL

I might even prefer a 5070 R or G or J above the 5970

Yep it's a beauty in blue, but personally I would go for a blue dial 5270G, think it looks amazing, the 5970 is a little nicer in itself, but the blue dial gives advantage, IMO, to the 5270...

Arnaud sorry there is no comparison as the 5270's are pigs for Patek that no collector's want and they sink like a submarine on secondary as a result. The 5070 and 5970 on the other hand are 2 of most desirable Pateks ever made. I had a 5270 for a short time and quickly realized what a mistake I had made and sold quickly before they sunk even more. So clearly the 5070P is one that only 150 or so were made and demand far outweighs supply and the 5270G one that well we all already know...

HL65 · 1 February 2015, 03:18 AM

My favorite watch of all time in favorite metal: 5970R

And yes I had 5070P and actually prefer 5070J color combo and now own it as well. Either way with any 5070 or 5970 no wrong choice only different preferences. Couldn't imagine not owning both and that is best option always IMHO.

MrJ320 · 1 February 2015, 03:49 AM

5970 for me between the two, and definitely no wrong choice.

goog53 · 1 February 2015, 03:55 AM

How big is your wrist? Cant go wrong with either but 5070 wears big at 42mm

5970 would be my choice, and my Grail if I ever thought acquiring one entered into the realm of possibility...

yjfang · 1 February 2015, 06:02 AM

I love the flat pushers. So classic.

GB-man · 1 February 2015, 06:43 AM

5970g out of those listed. 5970p would really make me smile though!

mimo5000 · 1 February 2015, 06:56 AM

Definitely 5970 for me. At the moment R grabs me most. P would also be amazing.

cozy2009 · 1 February 2015, 12:39 PM

5070p

Soly20 · 1 February 2015, 07:37 PM

If only one, 5970!
