Patek Philippe

Let me just say this pandemic and lack of travel is driving me crazy 🙊🙉🙈 So here is the story about this 5270G, short and sweet. I was tasked to help a friend sell this beauty as he wanted to buy something else. I asked a few collector friends but nothing...  

There are many grail type watches indeed but even if by some miracle or in a parallel universe I was as rich as Bezos and could pick up Paul Newman's PN, the 1 of 1 Grand Master Chime, etc...I still cannot see me exiting this great community or passion. I... 

Now that we know the story, any PuristS who wants to sell will task you with it ! 😂

Pateks that you can help me sell because I do not wear them enough ! 🤣

music to to my ear 👂!!! 😇

I can relate to your “black hole” reference. Lately I’ve been good at accumulating and not so good at letting go of pieces. There are those that I really like, but regrettably I’m just not wearing and enjoying as I initially thought I would. My collection... 

Been on a binge in multiple passions and areas, watches being one of them. As for letting go, what is that LOL 🤣🤣. I have a serious hoarding problem and a bigger problem of NOT letting go 🙈🙉🙊 I have been telling myself to do a bit of filtering and "spring... 

Big congrats to you my friend I believe it is the beginning of a nice series which will lead you to other great ones also (in addition or instead of this one we’ll see 😉). A salmon dial version would be cool, a 5970R or P would be fantastic, a 5970G salmo... 

You know I just picked up a Lange Double Split just last week which I consider "The King of Chronographs." I much prefer a Rattrapante over a PCC since I can focus on the chronograph and not get distracted by the Perpetual Calendar function. We'll see how... 

5370 P on the way soon then ? It would be mandatory if I were in your shoes then, what do you think ? (the black dial version and not the blue) But for me since I had the chance to try it on my wrist definitely 5970 fits better. Maybe I'll come out with o... 

Hard to compare with any Patek though imho as their look is so different. It's like comparing an Aston Martin with a Ferrari. To me one is not better than the other both are fantastic but they appeal to very different taste preferences of people. My two c... 

But that is just overkill 🤣🤪. Every time I think about it, it really does surprise me to think that through the centuries of watchmaking, NO ONE has made a wrist watch like the Double Split. It is truly unique and was ground breaking when it was debuted. ... 

Regarding grail watches, I think that there are some grail watches that would stop myself from getting more and more watches… but I’m not sure because I still haven’t got my grail watch 😂

Enjoy it and have some fun 🥂

Thats indeed a beautiful and amazing PP .

I wish I can do it in style like you at will for these heavy hitters

Enjoy in the best of health. Best, V.

Biggest congrats for this acquisition 👍. The G -001 has surely got a very beautiful dial (for me the most beautiful of all G). If you have a wrist for the 41 mm case, and you surely have as we can see on your pics, the 5270 is a wonderful and easy wearing... 

that fits like a glove. congrats on the 5270

I'll take Lyon cloudy, sunny or raining! Enjoy! -Tim

I’m having withdrawals from not traveling to France 🇫🇷!!!! I will soon! I love all of it!!!

Can't go wrong with 5270, it will grow on everyone ;-) I'm in kind of similar situation regarding my wife giving me "wtf/ are you ok?/ take it easy" look. LOL Enjoy your new Patek!

She found the piece very cool and told me not to miss out on it. She understands it's my hobby and gives me a lot of space here which I immensely appreciate.

Congratulations on acquiring this. I went through something of a similar journey in deliberating for some years as between a yellow gold 3970, a 5970 or this exact watch, I chose this for several reasons. 1. For all our love of the Lemania movement this i...  

Although personally, I prefer the 5270R due to the lovely dial colour. But this ref is unfortunately too large for my puny wrist! Enjoy your new toy!

That's how much I love the R version but unfortunately my wrist was totally uncooperative!

and I am so allergic to pain!!

that you are a true purist unlike me!

for a 5270G!

First the DS & now this. You're a dangerous fellow to follow on the forum.

and enjoy it in great health cheers

My two siblings say hello to yours! Best, Henry ...  

One 5270 can never be enough!! Cheers, Daniel

And frankly, this 5270 is way down on my list of the most unwanted watches. Looking forward to seeing this beauty on a true "Champ's strap" soon! Enjoy it in the best of health! Daniel PS Oh, any chance I can join your family? Pleeease??

And looking forward to seeing the spiced-up straps on that 5270.
