Patek Philippe 5070J, the less favorite among the 4 metal versions?

By: amanico : May 15th, 2021-08:31

You know me, I am a white metal guy. So personally, I would hesitate between a white gold or a platinum version. BUT, sometimes, the case / dial combination is really eye catching. This is the case, I think, with the 5070J. The black dial yellow gold case...

Thanks, Cpt.

Patek Philippe 5070J, the less favorite among the 4 metal versions?

I like my “J” but of the three I have the “G” is my favourite. The “P” remains a challenge to hunt.

G is still my favorite, even versus P.

Personally, I like them all ...

Thanks, Cpt.

Thank you for reminding us ;-))

They are all stunning.

Hehehe... Like you without your 5970G Salmon!

Dear Nico, I think all four metals of 5070 are attractive and would glad to have anyone…….but certainly the heavy white one will be the best ;-)

Indeed, my friend, indeed!

Thanks for a beautiful post Nico, including the very good 2512 reminder. Not a J lover myself, but I have to admit the yellow case/black dial combo is very attractive (in a similar way that I usually find attractive black dials with rose cases though)...

In total agreement. I strongly believe that the 5070 is a Classic, already.

5070 is a great series !

To me too. Thanks Gordon.

absolutely

That’s exactly right.

I do think so! Thanks, cpbmd.

Well, here, I would rate the G above, but it is just my personal preference.

I am with you on white metal

Hehehe, nicely put, my friend.

Thanks for sharing Nico

Old School Charm. That's exactly the point.

Thanks for posting, Nico

Well, I think that the gilt wording is very à propos, here. Thanks, mon ami.

Yes, I don’t see it done any other way.

Yes, you can, you really can.

Least popular, but the most classic.

Absloutely. Maybe the strongest of the line.

J version seems to be the least favourite among 5131, 5970 and 5170 series as well.

Not so sure it is the case with the 5131 and the 5970... To be discussed!

A classic. 5070G is the most versatile of the four though. Each 5070 has its own strong personality. A legend.

Well said.

Dear Nicolas, just do it now;)

I am already served... :)))

This is very appealing in yellow gold.

Hehehe... The exception which confirms the rule!

J all da way…

That would be the most original choice, among these 4, indeed.

I have this thing for “less favorite”. In this case, i’d go for the J even if i prefer white metals. Black and gold is a killer combo. Imagine having this one and a daytona JPS :-)

I imagine that very well. It crossed my mind more than once. But sssshhhhhh don't tell it to anybody else, this is a secret. :)

Lovely case/dial combo, Nico

My pleasure, David.

No trade but

I thought about that! :)))

I like my 5070G but this J image is striking

Here I share your point of view.

mine says hallo

Very cool! Thanks for sharing these beautiful shots.

I don't know why the YG black dial is the least favorite of the 4. I think it is stunning and the contrast is the best of the 4, even more so than the P 🤷‍♂️

Me neither. It is a real cool looking version.

Agreed 👍

Now the big question is to know if you go for the pair, the G and the J...

If I went for a pair, it would either be the G & J or G & P 😉👍

Or...

Lovely quartet but knowing myself I would never wear them all and would wear 2 of the 4 more often so I would prefer to have 2 and 2 others from other manufacturers that I could also put into the rotation 😉

What??? Not All??? Tssss!

Not this time Vlad 🤣🤣. Got something new that you might want to see but looks like you will be busy ALL week 🤦‍♂️

Alas, unless you can come tomorrow...

Tomorrow is impossible unfortunately. Maybe Thursday or Saturday as you will be picking up the Alpine Friday ?

Test roads on Saturday.

Ok so looks like you are out for this week 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️. Not even Thursday?

Thursday, no. A lot of work due to " bloody Julie " who is elsewhere... ;)

I'm going to have to talk with Julie 🤣🤣😜🤦‍♂️

Yes, you'd better.

LOL, then you need to point me in the right direction to talk to her 🤣🤣

She is hard to find, always in movement. ;)

GPS 😉😜

ROFL!

Easy solution, no? Technology is our friend 🤣🤣

:)))

Agree 100% my friend.

Thanks for commenting, Nautnut.

I think it’s perfect, especially because all the lettering is in yellow. Makes for a watch with great character

A nice and cool detail, indeed.

Quite a unique dial/case combo

What's not to love, indeed.
