Patek spotting >>>>>
The Patek section also needs its own dedicated thread with celebs and other well known characters wearing Pateks.
Starting off we have Mario Draghi, aka Super Mario, President of the European Central Bank. It's quite difficult to see but Mario's watch is either YG or RG, so I reckon it's a 5127 - being Italian and an ex Goldman Sachs MD, he'd only wear the ultimate dress watch which is a Calatrava

Continuing with another character from the world of finance we have the American-Hungarian investor George Soros, who also broke the Bank of England in 1992!
With $20bn in the bank, George sure knows how to spend it on quality. Pic below of George and his 5066A Aquanaut - wonder if George has upgraded to the 5167 but unable to find any recent wrist shots of him.

Other fans of the Aquanaut include Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr from The Beatles.

Below we have John Lennon wearing a Triple Date Moonphase ref 2499.
Jake's Patek Blog has a great write up here.

maybe resize them slightly and also upload to photobucket so we don't end up with no shows down the track...

Wait what's the difference between 5970 and 5270? Both seem to be perpetual chronos with lunar.

5970: 40mm (available in yellow, white and rose gold) 5270: 41mm (only available in white gold) Leap Year indicator 5970: Hand 5270: Window Addition 5270: Day and Night indicator Movement (more or less sure about the information below, somebody will need to confirm it) 5970: CH 27-70Q (a Lemania movement with the Geneva seal) 5270: CH 29-535 PS Q (in-house movement with the Patek Philippe seal) I believe that's pretty much it, I'm not sure the 5970 is still in production but perhaps somebody could correct me on that one, it isn't on the website anymore while the 5270 has its spot on the Grandes Complications page. Overall they are similar but one can find a few differences when looking at them. Here are pictures, please accept my apologies for the hijack! Patek Philippe 5970J Patek Philippe 5270G
