Thank you! I have a smaller wrist and therefore purchased a smaller strap.
Nevertheless and as others have suggested, the 5970 sits well even on smaller wrists -- better certainly than the smaller 5196
And on the 7th day…he obtained the watch he has long coveted
Several months ago, I finally pulled the trigger on my seventh — and perhaps final — Patek, a 5970R. I’ve posted questions to this forum before about buying and owning this watch, and whether to trade for it or not as I’ve navigated the awesome feelings a...
Huge congrats! A beautiful timepiece!
And even bigger congrats on a long successful career, raising a family, and so on. Those are the important things. The watch is just the cherry on top! It just happens to be a cherry we all like to talk about!
Many congratulations on obtaining this grail.
It looks wonderful. Enjoy your watch. Jon
Thank you. They are all wonderful to wear and see.
And the knowledge about the references shared here makes owning them much more interesting
Big congratulations
It’s a beautiful piece… the warmth of the R version really shows in your picture Great collection you have there and I am glad you kept the 5070G
Thank you for that encouragement. Yes the recommendation to keep them both was helpful
And I feel they are different enough, and I enjoy having them
Huge congratulations on a truly remarkable watch.
A remarkable collection. And what sounds like a remarkable career. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and wear them in good health!

Sincere congratulations.
I can feel the excitement, which is a really great thing. As often, with time and more and more watches it can be hard to replicate that feeling. Congratulations also on your retirement. Now, you need to continue to build the courage to wear that beauty o...
You are so right. I think this watch is the pinnacle for me -- I've bit smitten with the allure and history of the PCC since visiting the Patek Philippe Museum in 2003
I wasn't in a position to buy the 5970 the following year when it came out so 20 years later, it is especially sweet to fulfill this long-term desire.
Yes -- I've tried to diversify among so-called dress watches.
Although now that I wear athletic clothes, blue jeans and Hawaiian shirts most of the times "dress watch" is a huge misnomer.
Fantastic collection and fantastic move!
This 5970 is gorgeous and will give you a lot of joy, no doubt. Thanks for sharing.
Huge congrats on a grail piece for most of us (in any metal) 👌🏻
Great collection you have there, the 5970 is in great company! Enjoy them in the best health!
Congratulations! The 5970R is the most beautiful of the 5970s.
I would choose the G or P for stealth, but they are not as gorgeous as the R which captures a perfect blend of vintage and modern in a single piece. Enjoy! Cheers, John
Congratulations on the huge milestone!
Thanks for providing a peek into your journey.
Beautiful image. Great story. Very balanced and impressive collection. Especially after a 20 year dream being fulfilled
it must be incredibly sweet to own a 5970R I hope your 5970 enjoys many happy days on your wrist.. My somewhat similar J says hello. Best, Patekova ...
First of all: congratulations for your achievement!
It is a goal on every man’s life to seat back and enjoy the fruits of a life of hard work. Also congratulations for following your dreams and amaze such a beautiful collection! Enjoy it very much! Best regards. René
Huge congratulations on getting the 5970 iconic piece with
