Which would you choose?
Helping a friend to a decision. Both watches are on his grail list but can't get both at this time. The prices are about the same for the watches ( +- 3k ).
5070P or 5970R What a dilemma...

Has he written off the 5170 due to its smaller size?
I prefer the balanced layout of it compared to the other two, allowing for the fact one is a PC, of course. If it’s not in the running, even in Platinum form, then would he consider a WG 5070 with Salmon dial? Has he also dismissed the A Lange & Sohne Datograph Perpetual in Platinum? |

Condition is everything. If both are similar I'll have the 5070P.

Wow, tough one, both are among my favorite watches and hope to own either some day. I think I'd go 5070p, but it's close

5970 is a class to itself.
Really admire the 5070, but not in this matchup. |

being a newbie to this sort of thing, may i ask why most of you chose the 5070p? is it because of the metal? Is the pure chrono more representative of patek than the pc chrono? i would have thought that the 5970 being a more complicated watch would get more votes.

I personally think a pure chrono is easier to maintain and wear. A manual wind perpetual calendar, while beautiful takes a few more steps every time I want to put it on. I realize it's simple enough and interaction with your watch is fun but then again 90% of the pictures I see of them on here the date is wrong month is wrong etc. That would drive me nuts. With all that said..the metal is a factor in my choice as well. I don't think I could pass on a 5970P, setting procedure be damned!

I'm worried about the oil drying up or collecting in one place if I don't wear my 15202 for a month! I couldn't imagine having multiple PC manual wind watches just sitting there. |
