Finally! 5070J, neo-vintage goodness!

Finally added one of my all-time favorite references to the collection! I’ve always been a fan of the 5070 reference, particularly the J version. The dial has a vintage charm that I find unbeatable. I also greatly admire the CH 27-70 caliber, based on the legendary Lemania 2310, and the fact that it was the last reference to feature it. The cherry on top is the Geneva Seal, which I find much cooler than the Patek Seal.

Great piece.

Fully agree on the Geneva seal -- much better than the PP seal.

Congrats, it suits you very well and you've got the right wrist size for the 42mm case.

Yes, the 42mm case is not for everybody, but I also think that it suits me well! Thanks!

The best 5070 imho. I really wish they would bring this color way back for the 5172 but won't be holding my breath. Congrats

Absolutely wonderful. One of Patek’s greatest in the last 50 years. The black and gold colorway is stunning.

@OP, huge congratz, the 5070 as time goes by has a stand on its own in the brand's history. Wear it in good health!

As fashion comes back inspired by the 1970's 1980's in recent years (and yellow gold in watches), this combo could really have a chance.
