Took this one out of the vault

unbelievable but this one sat in the bank vault for several months
still imo one of the best Patek ever made but the last several months I wore other watches.
Untill yesterday I realized this beauty needed some wrist time :-)






It is ofcourse personal choice but I looked at many high end chronographs in the past and not one Breguet, VC, Lange, or whatever even comes close

That is an incredible piece. Looks like it has seen zero wrist time. Would love to see some side profile and caseback picks.

Very nice, that would be my choice for a top end chrono too. Do you have any other 5070? I know how much you like them.

Fantastic pic.
Bruno your photos do justice to the watch.
The 5070 is proof that sometimes the final product far exceeds the sum of the individual components. The 5070 is truly a special piece.

ofcourse you can use my pictures, don't need to ask !!

If you want more pictues ( some great some not so good) you might want to look at a blog where I keep all the pictures I took ( mostly taken at my AD, he has some ULTRA high end pieces)

Anyway, please take a look : http://bruno-wristwatches.blogspot.be

patek repeaters, tourbillons, chrono's
+ 300K JLC , IWC , Lange, ….
none of these ultra high end watches are mine but it was a pleasure to play with these :-)
Definitely the Patek sky moon tourbillon is something special … I'm sure only a few hundred man or woman on this planet had the chance to see, feel test this watch irl.

Is the bezel tiered? In some pictures it looks like three stacked concentric circles.
