Hi Roger, first of all I LOVE Hong Kong, i lived there for a year, right on the Peak, it was great. Secondly congrats for buying 4 really stunning timepieces. I'm new to Patek and have spent most of this year researching my first purchase which I just got last week - 5970g. I love the watch so much I'm excited to pick it up in the morning and go through the ritual of winding it. I thought long and hard about the various 5270s as well and it's certainly impossible to make a mistake. My favourite of the 4 is the 5970p which I think might be the most perfect watch of all time, period. So enjoy in the best of health and I look forward to seeing more pics. I assume you have other watches too, please keep posting pics. I know you Hong Kong guys like your cars too, so here is a gratuitous Patek/car pic!

Thank you Mark. The 5970G is truly lovely - enjoy it. I have owned 5970s in the past, but I have a nasty habit of turning watches over regularly. I will be trying henceforward to be a bit more disciplined!
I ditched the bad car habit when I left London - waste of time and money in Hong Kong with very limited driving opportunities IMHO. More money for watches and my other expensive hobby. |

Well it is funny you say that Paul - my favourite trusted seller on here appears to have a carbon 11 in which is my second favourite version of the 11 - I haven't yet made the enquiry.........

Good point on the moon phases, but not sure I can be bothered - don't think I ever refer to this function! I gave up adjusting the Celestial a long time ago!

I think I actually stopped breathing after the second 5270 came out of the package....I only assume this as I woke up on the floor with my wife doing chest compressions and telling me to "stay away from the light"!!
Simply amazing Roger - HUGE CONGRATS just doesn't do your reveal any justice, but there you have it! ![]()

Roger, ref the 5970 VS 5270 debate, which movement do YOU think is finished to a higher standard and is more beautiful?

It is a great question which requires me to examine them side by side under a magnifier in good lighting. Somewhat bizarrely when I previously owned both models I did not do that analysis. I will do that this coming weekend if not before. Please bear with me. In the meantime here was the group shot when I previously had both in my collection.

Probably heresy on the Patek sub-forum but Lange gazumps Patek on the movement front. Here is my Double Split for example.
