They did a great job on the 5270, kinna like the pilot model too but I agree it's not very Patek.

After studying the controversial Pilot model a bit more, I do like the dial a lot (albeit, its a bit busy for a pilot watch) but the complication is practical. It's those damn pushers on the left side of the case that bug me. They are so big and obtrusive. I wish they would have used flat pushers or toggles or something more streamlined but they decided to go the JLC Compressor route.

Are the sub-dials on the new 5270 smaller than the previous one? It looks more balanced than the "chin" version (maybe still a touch bottom-heavy). The date numbers are all the same size as well...

I love the revised 5270G but still the other issue being ridiculously high price. I guess that keeps out the riff raff like me.

Does anyone have any idea how much this baby will retail for?? Will it be up there in 100K usd plus or retail around the 60-70kusd mark like the 5131J??

Love the 5270G and R myself, not sure about the 5905P though, but I may be biased since I have the 5960P

I'm not sure why Patek changed the 5905P to only have a 60 minute counter and no hour counter like the 5960.

Also not too sure about the upsize to 42mm.

But what about the customers that bought it with the double chin? I would be pissed!

Should be 75k... but as the other references the will be more depending on demand.

Or collectible in the future

Hopefully the ones that bought it is because they liked the double-chin. I personally do prefer this updated version. Time will tell which ones become desirable down the road.
