My first Patek! Picked it up last Saturday! I love the way the dial changes depending on the light and the offset 22 kt micro rotor!

I know some people would love the new 5270 with in house movement but for me the 5970G takes the cake! And as much as I love to foreshadow this unfortunately isn't one of those times. Just thought I would enable some on this lovely Sunday afternoon...
