What about 5070?
Hi,
I think the 5070s are as big as the 5135 but seems like everyone sing praise about them. On the other hand, almost every comment about the 5135 are about it's huge size, ridiculous lugs...
My point is they both are technically big watches but everyone is so fond of the 5070s (apart from its movement) and the 5135 always too big in size? To me it has one of the cleanest dial and layout; the dial is even better looking than the 5396. Don't get me wrong, I like the 5070 and 5396 but I just like the 5135 (and Nautilus/Aquanaut) more. I happened to like the "non traditional" Pateks!!. When I bought the 3710 back in 2001, all my friends thinks I am insane not to get the all time favourite Daytona!
Want to share with you an old pic of two used to be call "weird" watches. Cheers

Took me 7 years to get all 3 of them. Heard alot of harsh comments (especially from another forum) saying they are ugly, not patek, 70s.....etc. Call me the minority but I like them the first time I saw 3710....could not get the 3712 but 5712 is good enou...

it was your mission, not anybody else. So who cares about the others? To be honest, I would never drive most of the others cars, wear their kind of clothes, ... Enjoy them, that is THE most important of all. Ref. 3700 is still open, but should be not that...
Agree.

The problem is that most of the Patek I like seems to be those the majority hates. I like the Nautilus, the Aquanaut, the Gondolo Calendario and the 6000...but every time I read about these models (from other forums), I only hear bashing comments and make...

Hi, The Gondolo is definitely too large for me but I love all other references you mentioned! 5712/1A, 6000G, 5167R, ..... miam! Cheers Dje

Hi, The 5070 and 5135 don't have the same length. In fact the case size of the 5135 is nice but the lugs are too straight and too long for many many wrists. On the contrary the 5070 lugs are IMO better proportionned. Still if the 5070 is superb in any col...
