As usual it is a question of personal taste, nothing is right or wrong! However since you ask our opinion...

IMHO 5970 is one of the nicest PP ever made if not THE nicest ever. As for me the size is absolutely perfect, it doesn't need any extra mm: it is perfectly balanced and proportioned as it is, I prefer the shape of its case better than the one of its successor the 5270, and to my eyes the dial looks also better. Also the Lemania based movement is absolutely great and cannot be criticised.
I know that I am biased as a 5970 lover (and owner) but not a single day I have ever regretted to own one.
I would not change one word if I would write it today
Looking forward to seeing it strapped on your wrist soon so that we can congratulate you

I am the minority. I like the 5270 more than 5970. I know the heritage, Lemania movements etc. Just like the case shape and dials better on the 5270. That being said, if you want another pcc this definitely get that neovintage patek vibe.

I find the size and look perfect and as others have noted already an icon. Any metal is attractive and if the price is right (all are expensive now) I would get it. Dave
I love your 5270p salmon. But this is on another level.

I’ve tried on the 5970G once at Wynn. They were asking 180. For a flash I thought about selling all my other watches to trade. It’s really a perfect watch. If the price is right I would def consider it. ...
Exceptional PCC.

The 5970 for me goes down in history as one of the most important PCC’s of all time. Not the most important but seriously up there in the top 3 for a few reasons. The 5970j is a very special version for sure. I do wonder how and if Patek could ever better...
