Would you buy a 39mm 570?

Couldn’t help but gaze at this drawing on the last page of the most recent Patek magazine. Would you buy a 39 mm rendition in WG? SS would be a treat but I almost think it would be a negative because more people would snap them up to flip.

If that watch didn’t say Patek Philippe on the dial would you be interested? That’s my way of saying no I wouldn’t buy it.

Fair enough. I am a big guy so 39 is perfect for me but I would be okay with 38.

Interestingly enough I think more than most Pateks yes. Not a damn soul would be wearing the retro 70s nautilus if they were made by VC let alone a nobody brand. The Calatrava is pretty classical and with a modern size, no date, and a new movement it could be quite nice. imho

I like the 5227R with the officers case back. That’s the Calatrava I’d buy and wear with jeans and a polo. A silly millimeter bigger. (Apologies to Benson & Hedges)

I like that watch as well just wish the movement fit the case better or just leave the date out all together. Reminds me of the AP 15400.

Of course, splitting hairs here. All incredible watches I would be elated to own.

I don't think I'd get a 39mm 570. Far too big for a basic Calatrava and too much empty dial space IMO. Basic dress watches often look a little cartoonish and also boring when oversized to just follow the trend. I thought about getting a 35mm 570 years ago when unconvinced by the 5196 and 5296, but went 34mm 3998P in the end. That one is as small as I can imagine but I continue to like it.

The 570 was not made in a 39mm case. So if you are offered on I would not buy it. The 570 was 36mm (35.5mm) case.

If you are wanting a larger Calatrava look at the 2481. It is 37mm.

I'd prefer 39 to anything smaller.

I wouldn’t buy this particular reference because I already own a Calatrava. But I do think that 38-40mm is the sweet spot for most watches. So thumbs up for the 39mm.

I know that haha im suggesting maybe Patek is hinting at bringing back this aesthetic with a new calatrava line which is coming. It’s the last page in the recent issue of Patek magazine.

I’m just dreaming

Totally agree, I own the 5227R and routinely wear it with jeans and polo. A truly sublime watch (yes I'm biased).

Regarding the OP's question, yes I would consider a 39mm 570, I think that would be very nice, although for time-only I would probably like small sub-seconds even more.

When I first commented here I thought this was a good idea, now that I just read that article as well I’m excited and hoping this actually happens!!
