5270P takes the cake for me. The G is nice.The green and blue (no chin) are pretty nice too. Actually the 5270j is really cool too..

My ranking:
5270P Salmon
5270P Green
5270G Blue (no Chin)
5270G white (yours) with tachymeter
5270J

Truly lovely pair. Love the gray strap on the salmon, can I ask where it came from?

I like both P, the R, J and the cute blue with no chin. And last but definitely not least, the T.

I think that ranking the 5270s (or even more broadly the PCCs) is very subjective but I do not think there are any legitimate connoisseurs who would not recognize the beauty of the model/lineage. That said J is my grail of grails and will hopefully be landing soon.

Besides 5270p, I also find 5270r a stunning piece but underrated.

5270 will probably be discontinued in the next couple of years. It will be remembered as a great PCC reference incorporating Patek's in-house Chrono movement.

Had the salmon for a bit but fell out of love quickly with it and moved onto something else. Blue 5270G is next on my list, chin doesn't bother me, trying to see the dial in person before pulling the trigger. Has anyone seen the blue in person, how does the dial look, it looks very flat in some pictures, especially in the dark?

My vote goes to the salmon P for the black numerals doing the best job at hiding the fact that the 5270 dials look unbalanced with all subdials in the lower half.

Great pair

My favorite duo of 5270s would be the G-019 (blue, no chin) and the R.

For the life of me, however, I can’t bring myself to like the white date wheel on these dials (blue, salmon, green, etc). Stands out like a sore thumb.

Big fan
This particular one is the less popular, it seems, first series. Nice dial however, brushed grain at some angles, like the advanced research models, white on other angles. No track.



Would like to add a Pt model with whatever Patek produce next.

As for the question. Not particularly fond of the chin models, the design triggers my mild ocd, but every 5270 is stunning and platinum probably the one. Very special indeed.

Couldn't agree more. I'd love to own one, one day.

I looked at this one a bunch before committing to the 018 (pictured above).

The track was a selling point for me.

Looks awesome in your picture.
