Not a fan either.
The colour combination offends my eyes as do those hands with lume. All wrong for me and the standard is a huge improvement in my opinion. But Iām sure it will do well at auction.

Ref. 5070J-010 "Michael Steven Ovitz"
The 5070 is a well known chronograph but this variant is probably a unique piece. I had the good fortune to get some hands on time with this piece which will be offered for sale at auction. If one looks at the 6 o'clock position, one will see the letters ...
In full agreement...
I really dislike lume directly applied onto dials. Because when the watch ages, the lume will degrade and flake off. Re-luming a dial is almost impossible for it to be done right. I advocate a sparse use of lume. And if lume is used, consider its use on a...
+1 ...the orginal is far better IMO. The only thing this variation has going for it is rarity.
Although an all-original version with a brown dial might be interesting. I particularly dislike the dauphine hands which seem incongruous with the 5070 design. And the dots. I hate the dots
For me, the original hands down. however
There is another wonderful brown dial 5070, not much known, with applied Arabic numbers. ...
Thanks for posting this interesting piece. Michael Ovitz was obviously a Patek whale to have so many unique pieces. I've seen a few other Ovitz pieces on the open market, but honestly none have inspired a gotta-have-it reaction.
I think the very best version of the 5070 was the Saatchi Gallery "London Edition", produced as a limited re-release in 2015 of five pieces. I believe Nico previously posted photos of this one with photo credit to Michael Ashton. Just drop dead gorgeous!š¤©...

It would be like asking for lume on hands and dial of my 5196p
Just so wrong and removes all the class and vintage feel from any serious complication or none sports watch IMO that is . M.
Always amazes me that anyone that owns such a complication.
Would need to tell the time in the hours of darkness. M.
Eliminating the cut numerals by using dots as hour markers is more pleasing IMO
The brown dial matches the case metal well.
Unique 5070
Love the 5070.very cool to have a one of a kind edition of this original is far superior in my opinion and the hands are very unappealing to me.
