That’s an amazing collection.You obviously have a soft spot for the 5970.Its very difficult to choose one from there it’s like asking a father to choose between his kids . [nt]
One of the great joys of collecting is the different views people have and sharing with fellow watch lovers. If asked to rank them I would find it impossible!
So let me ask a question - what next? 5070g/r/j are all lovely pieces and I think the 5016p black is one of the all time great looking watches but is marginal on the size front for me - anything less than about 38 is out, so 3970/5004 don’t fly. 5213 maybe. 5013 and 5950 and 5951 case shape doesn’t hugely appeal. I have a modest preference for discontinued pieces.
Absolutely fantastic! Curious about your thoughts on the wear ability of the 5204. And how that compared to the 5970 and the 5004 if you have tried that one.
And weather or not you would like to do some trades for a sports car..;-) sort of kidding sort of serious...
The 5970 and 5370 in my humble opinion wear a little better than the 5204 due to the thickness but not to the extent it is a problem. 5004 is too small to me and I don’t like the proportions either given the thickness [nt]
It is a fair comment on the overlap but I have spent a huge amount of time and effort experimenting with a lot of different watches over the years and I feel I know now what type of Patek I like and what I don’t like. I am privileged to own a very sizeable collection so overlap is inevitable but each of them have their own charm and personality.
