Let me just say this pandemic and lack of travel is driving me crazy 🙊🙉🙈 So here is the story about this 5270G, short and sweet. I was tasked to help a friend sell this beauty as he wanted to buy something else. I asked a few collector friends but nothing...

Very welcome.

IMCOMING!! Well, sort of 😜🤪🤣

Congrats, my friend. I am very happy for you. Enjoy!

Merci mon ami 😉👍🙏

This would be one of those exit grail watches for me....congratulations Justin...Hopefully some day I will find a version that I can cap this hobby.

I hear you Raymond but believe me my friend, for us who are plagued with this horological disease, there really is NO exit watch 🤪🤦‍♂️

Well done Justin and it looks great on your wrist ! 👍

LOL Gordon, what do you think happened with the COMET (3710/1A) 🤣🤣🤣. I have a weakness for nice watches. They're just "too Purdy." 🤣😜

Well Justin, I have some non-

LOL Gordon, send them over along with your bank details. Payment should follow swiftly, most likely from me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Justin ! Your comments are...

LOL Gordon, not how it was meant 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s a beautiful acquisition!

Thanks Bill. Yeah, the Black Hole thing is not necessarily a good thing but I blame that on the crypto explosion, Elon Musk, etc...

Chrono PC is the pinnacle imho and PP is excellent in this exercise

I agree with you Mike but only to a certain extent. I have owned PCC before from multiple manufacturers, Patek included. Although I am a huge chronograph fan, I prefer the chrono function by itself, UNLESS it is quirky and artful like early RD pieces...

I understand your point...

I've thought about the 5370P a few time Mike. Maybe one day in the future but honestly the Double Split I just got last week is so much more satisfying at the moment 😉👍

I can understand my friend, the Double Split is an incredible piece for sure

Very true and I agree Mike. Some don't like the thickness and looks of a Lange case but not me. I look at the overall package and in my opinion there is nothing better technically than the Double Split besides maybe the Triple Split...

Congratulations a beautiful watch !!!

Thanks Fram. I see your point regarding grail watches and actually wrote a réponse about it above 😉👍

Congratulations on getting this one ..

Many thanks Cpt. Fun will definitely be had 😜🤣🤣

Especially with some funky straps 😉

Oh yeah, that is definitely happening 😉👍

Huge Congrats my friend.

Many thanks brother 🙏 👍

Huge congrats!!

Thanks and LOL. Blame that on crypto and temporary insanity 😜🤣🤪

Huge congrats, my friend.

Many thanks V 🙏👍

Many collectors say that the 5270 doesn’t meet the traditional PP standards. But imho it’s a big advantage of PP to always move on and create new designs

I see and agree with the points you made, me being one of those who prefer the 5970 series. I will say the 5270 is surprised me so far so who knows, tastes can evolve but that does not mean that a 5970 will eventually makes it's way into my collection 🤪

Congratulations. Just as ♯5140 has some advantages that ♯3940 doesn't have, ♯5270 has a different appeal & charm than ♯5970.

Great point and I agree 👍

great watch...the 5270 first series is my favorite, have always loved this over the 5970....yeah yeah I know, but damn do I love this first series 5270:-)...I tried it on the wrist a couple of years back, and it is one of the few watches

I hear you and do agree that it does fit surprisingly well. Even better than I remembered but that is helped by getting the correct strap size for the deployant buckle 😉👍

Very nice piece!

Thanks Patrick 😊🙏

Beautiful watch, Justin...many congrats!

Many thanks brother. You should definitely pay a visit to Lyon in the future Tim. It is a very nice city and then you can swing down to the south of France (Côte d'Azur) to cap it off 😉👍

Very welcome.

Would be great to have a GTG if and when you come so give us a heads up 😉😜👍

Yes!!! Definitely will do!!! 👍

Looking forward to it bro 👌👍

Love it Justin, what a story!

Thanks Ian. Sometimes things just fall into your lap when you least expect them 🤪🤣

Huge congrats, Justin!

Many thanks Ivan. The side eye and look from your wife is something I can really relate to LOL 🤣🤣

On the other hand, she pushed me to order Czapek Antarctique today. LOL

We are both VERY fortunate to have understanding partners 🤛💪😉

Indeed we are ;-)

Agreed 👍 💪🙌

Congrats Justin -- you seized a great-looking Patek that many collectors would be crazy about -- I love both how it sits on your wrist AND your definition of black hole! ;-)) Enjoy a lot, and I look forward to seeing your new strap choices! ;-)

Thanks Fab. It really was serendipitous but I did luck out as I prefer the 1st gen of the 5270 for it's sterile dial. As for straps, working on it 😉👍

It is simply lovely Justin! Wear this beauty in good health my friend. A handsome, elegant yet refined Time piece. I’m very happy for you

Thank you for the kind words T, very much appreciated as always 🙏

holdemchamp 🏆 you really are amazing 🤩 big congratulations 🎉 my friend 👍

Don't know about all that brother, I can say that this horological disease is strong in me 🤣🤣😜

Outstanding acquisition!

You bring up some great points my friend. I am really digging your grey suede strap combo 💥👍

This is a good buy Justin!

Thanks Sham. Have you tried it on? It actually fits super nicely and my wirst is only 16.5cm so who knows, you might be pleasantly surprised like I was. Hell, after the Lange Double Split I just received, anything is wearable as that thing is a BEAST 🤣🤣

I have tried to force my wrist to fit this watch!

LOL Sham, FORCE it some more 🤣😂. If you force it enough, eventually your wrist will swell up from the pressure and then it will fit perfectly 😜

This sounds like a possible painful experience!

LOL Sham, I am also allergic to pain but sometimes we have to do what we have to do 😜🤣🤣

in that case, it just proves

LOL, I'm just a glutton for punishment 🤣😉

the majority here would join you

No idea about that my friend but I can say it is a lovely piece 😁😉

You're on a roll!

Thanks Fernando. Yeah, been on a bender as of late with this, the DS, and don't forget about the AP Starwheel and Patek Comet as they might feel neglected 🤣🤣. Worse part is I am expecting a few more incomings

Right on Justin!👍👍👍👍🤙🤙🥂🥂loving your collection!

Wow, many thanks brother 👍🙏

Huge congrats 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you kindly my friend 🙏

Welcome to the 5270 club, Justin.
