Rightly or wrongly it will seem a bargain in 5 years time.
The 5970 is a very important and special watch and just so happens to be drop dead also. 😍.

How 'special' or how 'overrated' is a unique dial ??
Take this as an example, a 5970 with a unique dial But that is just the same case, movement, level of finishing .... everything 100% the same except the dial ofcourse Now .... That watch just sold at Phillips for more or less 1.4 million euro Now, looking...
If I want a black dial,
the 5970P would suffice for me. Otherwise, either the 5970R or 5970G is fine with me.
Never underestimate the stupidity of people in groups / herds.
When you realize some still think about the 1970s Trilogy, when they finally realize that it was just marketing, while hurting Breguet....... But it must achieve high sales price, the illusion can't be broken for their company earnings. This isn't hand cr...
Personally…
Probably something completely different at this price point but it’s all an individual choice - of the owner is happy to pay for that than it’s their choice. The individual dial probably had a production cost of an extra $500 - $3.000 and given that Patek...
Well said, and great point. Patek can charge whatever it wishes for anything they make..... we know there are many billionaires with literally tons of cash to throw at yaghts, watches, etc.
Plus it helps keep PP large company expenses paid for. My question would be if PP will change those subdials. They look very awkward to me, most brands have mastered matching subdials to the mail dial background. The technology is there, if PP truly makes...
Of all the references the 5970 series had the most “commissions”
The ref 5004 closely follows then the 5070. Some are genuinely unique dials but some where made in a very small series. However, to put all this into perspective I predict that only 50-100 pieces were made. Consider approximately 3000 pieces were made, th...

3 5970Ps? Or 5070Ps?
In any case you need to add on the sealed premium.. for a unique piece I suppose it adds to the allure
I don't think we can always understand why people do certain things or treasure certain details but speaking of myself, I cannot understand paying a massive premium for a unique dial
This does not mean I wouldn't pay more for a better pristine original dial or in the case of vintage PP an enamlled lettered dial . But I have never been one to pay for having Tiffany on the dial- if it means the price id double Originality and condition ...
I see his watches pop up occasionally on various sites...
...and I can see the appeal of a unique dial. But at what price? The guy seemed to have a ton of watches that he never wore...
It is a very high price indeed !
Given my lack of financial resources, I would definitely go for the set if I had the means for the set. For collectors with resouces, definitely will go for the rare ones. Why not ? Rarity is what high end collectors want.
