Happy birthday!

Hope you continue to enjoy your 5070. I certainly understand the charm and coolness of it. It is one that I would like to add my collection when I source the right one.
The 5960/A with a strap IMHO does make it more interesting and appealing. Not sure I would choose it over a 5960P gray or blue dial with the right strap.

16th of March 2010 / 16th of March 2016: My Patek 5070 6th birthday.
By: amanico : April 2nd, 2016-16:06
Irony of Fate... When I bought the Patek 5070 six years ago, I was quite happy and proud to have built a nice collection of modern Chronographs, as I already owned the Vacheron Les Historiques Chronograph salmon dial / platinum case, the Jaeger Lecoultre ...
Classic !

Very very nice piece ! Manual Winding Chronograph is pure class

and the bracelet can easily be changed to a well fitting strap. For many months I have not been wearing anything as much as my 5960A. The strap is now close to perfection but I just ordered a new one where the stitching will go a bit closer to the case. T...
The purchase of this watch was a semi-accident

because I did not like the bracelet. But then I realised how to put in into strap. Now I'm enjoying the last snow (1 meter) some 250 km north of the Polar Circle. The sun is shining and today we are enjoying our 5-years anniversary dinner. Tomorrow mornin...
Happy 5th anniversary!

Sounds like a great way to spend it. Not been that far north yet but hope to one day find a way to make it in the near future. A project to plan for next Easter perhaps. Arctic char surely makes for great dinner!
Easter time in Lapland is the best!

And (even) in the Swedish side there are some nice lakes with arctic char. That as a starter and snow grouse as main=heaven. Mvh, Kari
Sounds like a feast

You have inspired me to try to find a way up north next spring. Quite possibly to the Swedish side . Time to start planning what to wear on the wrist for that adventure...
Try the darkest period of the year -

around Xmas and New Year. That's stunning and the little light there is - it is really out of this world. Best, Kari

So we can assume that you are still totally smitten by this piece and it will not be leaving your collection any time soon The centre stone of any collection Julian
I feel you saved the best of your fab 4.

Thats the way life goes. First thought of buying only 1 calatrava then another. Well this can get addicting. The only watch i sold so far is a russian poljot to an employee of mine. Could not stand it sitting on my wrist. A symbol of communism. The politi...
Well, I don't consider the 5070 as the best Chronograph.
By: amanico : April 3rd, 2016-00:00
To me, the JLC Duometre is certainly the most original and innovative, the Lange Dato has a higher level of decoration, such as the Montlblanc 1858 Tachymeter, but the Patek 5070 certainly is the coolest manual winding chronograph among these 4. Best, Ger...
Happy birthday!

Great watch to have and sure you will do the PP thing in this case and pass it on to your daughter May it continue to bring happiness whenever you wear it!
It has annoyed me really..

... maybe I could be a chrono guy after all for just one special one
Happy 6th birthday Nicolas

I enjoy very much your "birthday" or "purchase experience" (the 5110P for instance). Always interesting to see what owners may see in a model and what made them choose this or that watch. I could play very recently with a fellow friend's 5070G and came ba...
A classic from a world class guy
