5970r
It gets everything pretty much perfect and the r adds so much depth, warmth and class.
Yes, for some reason, never liked the bottom date dial cutting in to the minute track.
I think it’s a big design flaw.
I also find the the day/month windows a little disproportionate to the case size.
On the 3970 it’s perfect but for the 5970 it should be bigger.
Patek realized this and corrected it on the 5270.

Understandable critique...perhaps an imperfection, but well-integrated nonetheless.
But everything else seems damn near perfect 
Except the small day/month windows
I thought multiple times about selling everything and getting one, but I know it would bother me.

I think of world timers and perpetual chronographs as quintessential Pateks (with complications)...
...other wise Calatravas are in the conversation at lower price points.
For me there are three ultimate PPs
The epitome of perpetual calendars: 3940.
The perfect worldtimer: 5110p.
The ultimate three hands watch (with date): 5227 (yes this last may be a little more controversial)

For me, 3940
Perfectly sized, thin, signature Patek complication, gorgeous and balanced - I think it may be one of the most unanimously loved modern Pateks.
The only knock, in terms of collectability, is that it was made for a long time. But a first series 3940 in great condition is a beautiful thing.
I know this is blasphemous, but I prefer it to the 5970. The PPC is of course THE Patek complication, but I think wearability is a paramount consideration and the 3940 disappears on the wrist.
unless u are of super high net worth,
or a famous celebrity or athletes, u take whatever their AD offers u,😅

Rather than pick something i would never own, I will go with one i do that reminds me of a very special time in my life. I would sell a lung before i sold that one.
