Patek Philippe

If you could have one of those 2 superb pieces, which one would you take .... AND WHY ?

 

 

in addition to the chronograph function, it has 3 other functions not found in the 5070P; annual calendar, power reserve, and day/night indicator. 

I own all 3 :   5960      5980      and     come next  week  the 5970

The 5960 with so many features is definitely good value for money

The 5980 is bold and brash and very hot - first time a chrono function is put into the stylish iconic

        Nautilus body.

The 5970 - comes from the 3970 my dream watch for the past 18 years

                    I missed out the all platinum 3970 some 4 years ago.It was offered at a very good price

                    I am kicking myself in the butt for this booboo

                    The chrono function with perpetual calender  a truly classic combination

                    and never fails to attract attention.

 Only the 5004's classic features can outshine this great model.

There is no substitute for the manual Lemania based 5070 caliber. The best chronos are manual wound. No dispute about that

And 5070P is the cream of the cream of all 5070's. The finale. None coming after.

Wait for 10 yrs and see for yourself if Patek will put out any automatic split seconds chrono perpetual. Then you will understand what I mean.

My dream collection will be : 5070, 5020, 5004, 5959. But I am stuck in the middle..

Cheers,

I'd go on the 5070P...
Of course the 5960 is a great watch, but:
1/ I prefer manual winding on high end pieces.
2/ I'm not very keen on the Annual Calendar which " kills" the balance of the gorgeous dial.
3/ the 5070P is the ultimate 5070, and we all know that it will be the last one...
Best.

......as much as I think that your 5070R is the best looking of all 4 metals.......5960P

Not sure if this is just a theoretical question, but.....
I know how much you like your 5070R...so.......
 - if you were to pick between 5070P and 5960, while keeping your 5070R  - then 5960P hands down.
 - if you were to pick between 5070P and 5960, while needing to part with your 5070R  - then 5070P (knowing what you like a little

Best of luck...hope you will get a chance to make that decision.

5070 if you could get it in Platinum ..  otherwise the 5960 ..  This is purely a collectability one-watch point of view and doesn't speak to the comfort of the piece (for me anyway)..  I'm such a slave to fashion

Well I must say I love both the watches. I've had my 5960P for a while now and love it. I just received my 5070P this week so I am one of the lucky ones I guess. I didn't expect it so quick but its here. So the answer to your question, I would choose the 5070P hands down for long term collect-ability. Its a sure bet. The movement will be no more after this year. Good luck

Hey, Welcome here, first!
BTW, may you post pleaaaase, some pics of your 5070P?
Unbelievable news, my friend!
Can't wait to see the first pics in vivo of this watch...
Best.
