All superb no doubt!

Thanks for sharing this delicious chrono selection...let me also go for the 5070 here, and major congrats to your friend! ;-)

Better IMO
The 5070 is a bit of a cluttered mess in my opinion, especially considering how large of a watch it is. The subdials at 3 and 9 are too big (especially compared to other more beautiful 2 register chronographs like the 1463 or 3 register watches like their perpetual-chronographs), and the cut off numerals (3 4 8 and 9) don't allow for much negative space on the dial. I think the remake of the VC Cornes de Vache suffers a bit from this too (subregisters are a little too big IMO). Then again, this is partly a reflection of my taste for a simpler and more open dial like the 1463, 2499 and 3970 PCCs, and the 1980s VC Les Historiques chronograph which, IMO, have the proportions right. I do love the hands on the 5070 more than the 5170 though. I would be glad to own any of them, of course, but when I was choosing between these pieces, I passed on the 5070 for these reasons.
Simply Wow --- I've probably seen hundreds of 5070 pictures, but this one is among the most stunning!👍🥂

Thank you for your very kind compliment, my friend!
For such a seemingly monotone dial, the 5070G’s subtle textures and layers catch the light and reveal a brilliance of design. Patek did an excellent job with this one! Photo was taken with an iPhone and admittedly I could have done a better job at dust removal.
Thank you! I would encourage those who have perhaps passed judgment on this watch based on photos, to actually see one and even try it on the wrist.
As is the case with some watches, photos don’t seem to properly convey its overall appeal.
Fair point and always a good idea
To the OP, my comments were a little blunt and out of place because I didn't read your thread title carefully to realize these were your personal watches; I meant no offense. (My wife lovingly and inoffensively thinks my Pateks are "slylistically challeneged," so in the same sense, I mean no offense to the OP.) My comments were more suited to a thread about style and purchase decisions, not one's personal watches, and it was not possible to delete my post by the time I realized that. They're all beautiful (both the chrono and the PC-chrono pictured), but certain aesthetic features either don't resonate with me, which is why I came to different purchase decisions for these two watches. Others clearly feel differently. Perhaps I might have made a different decision if I saw one in the flesh. Again, thank you for your polite response to my clumsy post.

Thx for all the friendly comments
My friend is really, really happy about his new 5070 even though he had to let go a bunch of nice Rolexes for it.
Talking about the "star" of this group, dear Nico, it´s a very difficult decision imo. All 3 models have a character of its own. One day I prefer this and another day I prefer another. It is making me extremely thankful and happy to have a choice.
By the way, did you know that some watch collectors in Germany have given the nickname "Uhu" (German for eagle owl/grand-duc) to the 5070 due to its narrow standing "eyes"?
