I normally don’t have a problem with a deployant. But for whatever reason I simply couldn’t find a comfortable setup for the oem deployant when I acquired my 5070.
Thankfully I was able to visit the Henri Stern Agency here in NYC and they offered a matte grey strap with pin buckle. I actually prefer the look and it’s very comfortable.
Enamored with the Patek 5070 ref.
The eagle had landed yesterday and I have to say this is probably going to be one of the last few monumental pieces I will add to the collection. I feel that my journey with watch collecting is perhaps approaching its last phase now, having collected watc...

I actually thought it was rose gold. I love this design so much with the stepped case/bezel. It looks beautiful!
Hi mate
Indeed the stepped bezel really helps to accentuate the profile of the case. Best Gatsby
Congratulations Gatsby.
I have enjoyed your contribution to our community over that decade and more that you mention and know exactly where you are on your collecting journey. You have chosen well with the 5070 and they are all stunning in their own way. One of the last greats f...
Miles… thank you so much dear friend :-)
I suspect you might be right. This could be the last of the chronographs for me. I am still game for owning a older, more complicated Patek. These days, I am more interested in looking back rather than looking forward when it comes to watches. Best Gatsby...
Huge congrats Mr. Gatsby !
Thanks for the review and wrist shots. The 5070 series is well liked and the G is a good choice. The strap looks good ! Enjoy it often !
Thank you buddy :-)
I hope to catch you in person one day. Was speaking to Maxi from THG today and your name popped up ! Best Gatsby
Watch collecting
Quite literally a hobby you can sit back, relax and just enjoy. Thanks for sharing
Big congrats As a current owner
Of the same model I really love wearing mine I generally wear smaller pieces but even though this is a larger watch it still wears perfectly on the wrist You have a wonderful watch which is a joy to wear Julian
Thank you Julian
This watch is amazing. It’s very understated and doesn’t scream for attention. You either know or you don’t…gotta say it can be potential great daily wearer. Best Gatsby
This post is great, Gatsby.
Like you, I have this watch and a small wrist. Your debunking of the “cons” reassured me on several points. I know which watch I’ll wear today — Thank you!
You’re welcome my friend
Let’s see some pics when you can start a roll call someday when you’re free — we should all celebrate this reference. Best Gatsby
For me one of the
most desirable Chronographs ever made. And as the cherry on the cake without date ☺️ All the best and wear it in good health! Thomas
Congratulations on the 5070G. This is a most inspiring and beautiful watch indeed.
The white gold case with silvery dial is truly versatile and can basically match all straps and clothes. An excellent choice. Compared to steel sport references, it does offer much more and as well as a perfect value. This understand strap (with croco ins...
Congrats on a beautiful acquisition! I enjoyed reading your description and overall impression of the 5070. I agree it’s a special piece.
Some of the reasons you mentioned for acquiring this piece are exactly why I added it to my collection. And your strap choice is well done. I’ve found that my personal preference is to wear it on a pin buckle strap rather than the oem deployant. May you g...
Thank you so much Bill
The watch looks killer on your wrist ! Curious to see how it pairs up with the tang buckle. Can you tell me more why you prefer the tang to the deployant buckle? Best Gatsby

Thank you mon ami
You have no idea how many times I read your review!! I finally pulled the trigger and I’ve never been happier. Best Gatsby
Dear Werner, biggest congrats to this great watch!
It’s a truly special piece for your collection. Viel Spaß damit 😄
Lollll :-)))))
Thanks cayenne. I know Werner well. Super cool fella…and we get along just fine from one Gatsby to another! Best Gatsby
Simply stunning! Many congratulations!
A timepiece that will live on for a long time within your family. History in the making, one can say.
huge congratulations !
it is an excellent chrono...I doubt even if PP can repeat itself with something that will beat can beat the 5070 ! IMHO WG is the best considering the dial vs numerals/hands contrast...Pt while I understand its allure, it is too ridiculously priced to buy...
Merci Mahesh :-)))
You totally get me. Thank you once again for your kind words 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Best Gatsby
You chose an iconic reference G. The 5070 is a forum favorite and for good reason...
It is also one of my favorite offers from Patek, especially in a simple chronograph. It truly is a great piece and marks the end of an era when decided to move away from their relationship with Lemania which they've had for so many years and develop their...
What a beautiful watch and an immaculate composition too: both the watch with strap, and the photographs.
Thanks for the personal account. I find these personal thoughts to be the most rewarding parts of posts.
