I had the 5970 and had nothing but problems with it being hard to wind and stopping. Went to PP several times. I have the 5270 and it, knock on wood, has been perfect. Perhaps yours was one of the first models and they had some glitches to be expected with a new movement. All in all very sorry to hear of this. My 5170j simply quit running and had to go in for warranty repair.
Patek 5270 quality issues

I am so sorry to hear about this.
I have had my 5270G (the blue chin) for over 3 years now. Fortunately, I have not encountered any such problems. I don't really have an answer or a solution, but I feel your pain.

Maybe Patek will provide updated parts during service
I sometimes see bulletins from manufacturers for specific parts to be swapped out with newer (read: better-functioning) versions. I hope the new service gives you many years of problem-free usage.

would be nice if could also get the vintage QC back. Someone said progress was good?!...
Perfect So Far
I have had my 5270 R for one year and it has operated without any problems!
5270G
Yes the rose gold came a bit later than the original white gold model.....perhaps they did make some improvements to their new in house movement. I am liking more and more the "simpler" models because they also don\'t need to send away for service! Vintag...
Hi Vwong
My 5270G is the third generation. I do not have the problem like yours, but mine is about the leap year indicator. As I adjust the montha to change the year correspondent, the number of year wont change after 1 cycle form Jan to Jan, but rather change slo...
Hi Le Quock
My watch seems to turn each year without problems. I\'m sorry to hear that your watch has that issue. I would recommend getting it looked at by Patek Philippe as your watch is new and is still covered by warranty. Perhaps my watch is a rare one with some ...
