The perfect DNA
Baselworld 2005, Patek introduces a watch very dangerous…dangerous to your health that is. The 5970 is launched, I remember this moment well, I stood in front of the window at the Patek stand mesmerised, and I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing. The...
If I didn't know you well, I'd say that you're a damn Devil. :)
Superb ode to the 5970, my friend. This Chrono QP from PP is certainly one impressive watch, which will be hard to beat, in terms of elegance and class. The case, lugs and dial are to die for. I always wondered which one I would get, if I was able to, and...
Just over a day to go Nicholas............
And then we may all be put out of our misery!! LOL

"...2499 as the “perfect watch” ..."
I appreciated your "ode" a lot and would like to add a picture ... (1518 - 35mm; 2499 - 38mm; 3970 - 36mm; 5970 - 40mm; xxxx - xxmm) Only a short time and we can discuss all the tiny details that make big differences to some of us My favourite dial: 2499 ...

thanks, great post
I hope the next model will again not have a seconds hand ... because the lack of that is the one thing that keeps me from selling a kidney for one of these beautiful watches. Best Andreas
The Ref. 5970 has a characteristic feature that hypnotizes me more than any other ...
I've never seen in the flesh a 5970 but, carefully examining its pictures (I've studied them meticolously to replicate the timepiece with a vector graphics software), I've noticed that the case shape isn't perfectly round: on the left it looks like a slig...
Thanks Imran, Nice read about what I love...The 5970..
I am not the slightest bit worried about what replaces the 5970 as I know it can't better it..............In my eyes at least.. Regards Miles
Great series....
A moderators kind of threads.... A series that lead to something new.... 5970 is close to perfection.... Info has leaked, but we do respect the rules.... We all look forward to a grea discussion and new creations.... Cheers
