Hi Ron, I read that you have placed an order of the 5740? When did your AD say will arrive?

Do post pics!

[SIZE="5"]Hi Ichiran. Thanks for remembering.
Yes I did placed an order and was told "by the end of this year".
I believe the first batch would definitely not arrive Singapore but in US or Europe.
That's why I am looking forward to others posting it first.
I also ordered the 5968 but hope the 5740 come first.

Both are objects of desire certainly. This poll was created during Baselworld 2018, and it would be intriguing to see the opinions again now.

5740 is an easy choice for me

jcoltrane · 26 July 2018, 12:56 AM

I've got a deposit down for the 5740, so that answers the question, but I wish they'd dial the size of their PCC watches back a bit. The 5270P seems too large in case diameter and thickness for a Patek. Love the salmon dial and brown leather though.

Agree on the diameter. The 5970 is perfect, the 5270 is a smidge too big.

I was told the first batch would be delivered in July but I still haven't heard of any one getting their 5740G or have an expected delivery date.

If we did this poll over the 5740 would win is my guess. Changing my vote LOL

I likely would vote “neither” at this point. Both are great, but neither is perfect. And at this price point, it needs to be perfect.

I still want to see them in person before making a final decision, but it’s good that there’s time between Basel and purchase date!

Yeah I think so, after seeing it in person, it solidified my preference.

I think in future years the Nautilus will come out in steel and that will be the piece to add.

Patek has never made a regular production stainless steal PC so unlikely they will make a regular production PC in the future. They made stainless steel PCC 1518A and 5004A but very few were made.

lmcgbaj · 26 July 2018, 06:59 AM

Can't believe it was so close. 5270P for me easy.

I’d go Nautilus. The blue is stunning.

5270P in a heartbeat.

dom007 · 31 July 2018, 09:39 PM

5740! I prefer salmon on my plate...

Spoke to my AD today, they said Patek now intended to deliver the first batch (in the UK) of 5740s on October.

I feel very happy for those who are getting their 5740 in the next 1-2 months. If I were one of them, I will not be able to sleep the week before,

Excited for them.

Congrats on getting an allocation for the first batch

I hope it is not July 2019, if so my incoming would be in 2020

I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong. My AD offered me a 5270R and the watch was unbelievable. It's obvious in hindsight the 41mm case enables Patek to keep the watch comparatively thin for a PCC. I really dislike thick casebacks that cause the watch to sit high above the wrist, and the 5270 doesn't at all.

Rose gold isn't my thing, so I put a deposit down for a 5270P instead. Ironically, that watch will likely arrive months before the 5740. I suppose the answer to this poll is they're both excellent for completely different reasons

Patek needs to start delivery the day after Basel next time so we all don’t have buyers remorse even before buying anything! Lol
