Patek Philippe

Size difference

 

I think the 1mm looks bigger than it is because the 5970 has a concave bezel which is fairly wide (but hidden well) making for a smaller dial size than the 5270. I like the 5270P and if I had the money would buy it immediately. But, it does not sing out as the perfect watch. I am not sure how the 5 Arabic numerals work just on the top. Perhaps the small squares around would have been the answer. The real plus to the 5270 to me over the previous perpetual chronographs is the much improved in-house movement. The dots make the dial a little bland as opposed to the neat format of the 5970 for sure. This watch will be highly limited and short lived, would be my guess, so the folks who get one will be very pleased I am sure.

Curious that PP matched the background color in the day & month windows to the dial color on the RG/black version but not on the Pt/salmon. I know past salmon PCCs have had the white windows but it would have been nice to see a synch-up now.

Beautiful watch.

Love the salmon dial. Agree with Nico on the two holes, maybe it would look better with another solution. Thanks. Vte

I own 4 Patek references. At first glance new release of 5270P is impressive and wanted to buy it.. But I think it is just a marketing ploy. Looks like Patek is running out of ideas. Just recycling the old combinations. The dial is not even aesthetically ... 

salmon 5270P is top cool
