Amazing watch. When you compare a jewel like this to a Nautilus and see that they are nearly equal in price you begin to realize the absurdity that has overtaken the high end watch market. Price has no longer anything to do with exquisite complications or watchmaking artistry. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this fantastic piece. Please do some more of these.
The price is no longer defined by craftsmanship since watches are no longer tools but pieces of jewelry.
This is also the same reason why a Rolex is a better watch than a Grand Seiko, an AP a better watch than a A.Lange. They just have more brand equity in the luxury segment, provide more status and thus are way more desirable, even if the latter are objectively better made.
@@Ozmeister666 u should have seen more popular rather then better .Ofc I do agree with u
@@cornmill6516 No, I actually meant better, since they do a better job at being jewelry/a status symbol.
They’re not “better” as better is subjective. Better at bringing status? Maybe, but status is also objective.
0:33 You really can pass as a Kingsman, my guy. That watch and the whole ensemble is CLEAN. Great job on the cinematography ... and the review, as well.
Appreciate that, my friend! The watch is a cheat code so I can’t take that much credit.
@@TeddyBaldassarre Class act. Representing Italian-Americans well.
Yes! More of these ultra high enders. Please do a Patek 5370, moser streamliner flyback, Lange zeitwerk, or jlc master grand tradition series!
Great suggestions. I am glad you enjoyed. I love looking at these caliber of pieces and plan to do more.
@@TeddyBaldassarre wassup teddy!!! 😎✌️
@@TeddyBaldassarre 0:33 is like you're in a patek Philippe commercial teddy 😆😎👍
I recognize the beautiful Cleveland Arcade in your opening montage. Another enlightening video. Thanks Teddy.
Many thanks for this wonderful view of this high horology piece Teddy with superb photography. Not only does it look incredible but it's functional as well. The view of the movement in action is just sublime. I know I'll probably never see one let alone own this piece but that engineering and design is just something else. Thanks again.
Fun to see the ultra high end stuff. Great content Teddy! Awesome video. Looking forward to buying another watch from you in the future 🤜🤛
Hey Teddy, So happy to see all the success you've found with your channel and sites. Hope you're doing well!
Teddy your videos are of an astounding quality. The work you put into them shows. Thank you!
Wonderful, Teddy. Keep these high-end horology videos going please!
What a stunning piece! Thanks for the great video - more of these please!
The quality of the Intro's Cinematography is Top Notch Ted...nicely done!! 👌🏽
Hey Teddy , what a timing.. my day ends here in India ,then I get a notification for your video.
I love the shots in the arcade! Great video, as always, Teddy!
Thanks, Tyler!
Great video! In depth reviews are fantastic.
Love the decagon screw framing the see-through caseback. Thanks for walking us through this timeless beauty!
Wow Teddy! What a great piece to get your hands on!
I'm a watch guy and just recently discovered your channel and site. I'm hooked, love your videos, I'm sure I'll be purchasing something from your site soon. Best channel for watches out there, thanks for the content.
Cheers from Boston
Yes please! And one of those high end JLC Complication watches would be amazing to see here
Arguably the best PP PCC to date. A fantastic video review, with style and elegance to match. 👍
That intro is an art in itself...just wonderful
Wowowow, this is definitely a grail watch for me! Awesome video Teddy!!
Thank you my friend!
Great review, with beautiful music to match the watch!
Great video Teddy. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Beautiful! And I agree that these watches, and the annual calendar, really define Patek...not the nautilus.
Great video as always, Teddy! Would it be possible to get a collection update? Unless I’m missing something it’s been a few years since you’ve done one!
I love watching in depth reviews of high end horological pieces. Would live to see the Moser fly back with the Aginore movement. Data graph perpetual. Would be nice as well.
I've had a gold 5270 on my wrist once, and it was an undescribable experience. All those little pieces that we are able to see in so much detail in these typical macro shots, are in reality much smaller than what I expected, while at the same time looking so polished. I was also impressed by the heftyness of it! Although it's a delicate watch for sure, it's still made to be wearerd, not to stay protected in a glass case. I hope whoever is the now owner of that watch (I tried at an AD) I hope that person wears it in good health!
Almost 400k Teddy. What an achievement! 👍🏻✌🏻
What an absolute piece of art from Patek, absolutely stunning. It be would definitely be highly interesting to see more of high-horology pieces, but personally I would love to see a review like this one about a weakness of mine: a Blancpain Villeret full calendar, those with Caliber 6654 in particular.
Almost 400k Teddy, what an achievement! 👍✌️
Magnificent video. Excellent commentary, beautifully shot, and absolutely the right conclusion. Well done. PS. It boggles the mind that a blunt instrument 5980/1r costs more than this 5970, but that tells you a lot about what people value today - showing off!
Haute Horology at it's finest. Look at the details... the finishing on the case and movement, the hands, the sharp cuts on the markers, the way they frame the day and date, the text.... just perfection
What an amazing watch! Thanks for sharing!!
Great video! I'd love to see more of JLC's high end stuff.
110% agree with you on every point. Wonderful review. Thank you for producing the video
We need a Lange Datograph Perpetual review!
Thank you, Ted. exceptional content.
An amazing piece.... please more, nice to see what's out there......
Can we talk about that intro for a second? Damn, son! 🔥
Perfect! Thanks for this.
Great video. Really tastefully done
Great video. What a great watch. This is what Patek is all about. I had the chance to wear a 5370P, their best movement in my opinion. If you're ever in Geneva, let me know
I salute your transition, this is made me laugh a ridiculous amount. I’m so glad you got your hands on a Patek, And that all the cement what your doing bother. Keep me guessing lol
Stunning piece that sets the bar for all watchmakers. Also, thank you, Teddy, for the recent Longines video. Their lineup commands more consideration. Your work is exemplary.
Thank you very much, Curt!
That video got me looking into the Avigation big eye for my next work watch. I didn't realize how much variety in styles they have.
That's one hell of an intro, yeah I'd feel like a boss too wearing that.
You’re a very lucky man, Ash. Question: Should you ever get hold of an Explorer, is protocol to then call round all other establishments that have you down for one informing them to remove your details?
Just simply mind blowing, how lucky are you, must have been a full time job just to get a hold of a piece like that.
Thanks Teddy
Love this overview. In addition, this obviously isn’t an every day watch and because of the price point, no one reviewing it will be able to let it sit for a few weeks, then re-set the watch. I’m told that when buying this watch (or the new 5270) you actually have to meet with a Patek specialist and get trained on how to use the functions properly. My question is: If you let this watch sit for say a month, how long would it take to set the date, day, month, etc? Love the idea of a perpetual calendar. In addition, I know it’s a labor intensive timepiece for the watchmaker as well as the wearer…
My ultimate grail would be a 5270G, but yes, the 5970R is indeed what I also think of when I think of Patek. Gorgeous pieces, works of art that are alive.
Beautiful watch and beautiful shots!
Production value is crazy high as always. Hard to make a patek perpetual look bad in my opinion but this brings out the very best.
Loved this video, please do similar reviews to the 6301P and 5231J
Excellent video Teddy; a review of the PP 5270P would be appreciated.
I agree
Absolutely incredible, piece of art!
Probably the most beautiful watch I've ever seen!
Great review as always. There's only one other watch I'd pick over this one. That'd be my Seagull 1963 Chronograph 38mm 😂 ☺ Keep it up my friend.
Stunning!
Honestly man, Teddy outdid himself with this video.
Wow. That is stunning!
omg this looks so beautiful
It is truly a beautiful example of mechanical art. But after seeing a lange datagraph next to one, lange hit it out of the park. Same inspiration, but a much more refined layout.
Can I ask your opinion about solar watches if they are good?
My holy grail.. the 5970 and the 5971...
Dream watch right there!
Do a review on Patek 5235, annual calendar, regulator style display. such a beautiful watch!
Beautiful!
Great review, Teddy. Now, how did it feel to walk around with this one on your wrist?
I have to say, THIS is what Patek does! I don't know why people spend any time talking about the Nautilus when they do stuff like this. This watch is and the style is like the Inline 6 engine is to BMW - it's what they do.
The Nautilus is great but it’s a hype, flex watch. Same thing with the Royal Oak and Daytona.
I love the watches I can afford, along with the watches I can't afford. That Patek is beyond beautiful.
Awesome coverage. Keep these reviews coming!!!
Excited for the watch giveaway of this reference. Here is my entry!
Nice review! Next 5270
Teddy, would you mind doing a review of the Chopard Alpine Eagle?
Beautiful as this watch is, I always feel that a perpetual calendar should have an automatic movement so you can wear it every day without having to wind it or put it into a watch winder.
Automatic chronographs are ugly as sin though.
I have an automatic chronograph and think it is rather beautiful. I do not know why you would consider them ugly in general 🤪?@@golfinguru11
Can you please cover PP 5270J? Thank you.
Would love to see a review on the Wimbledon and de santos
Hey teddy! Great video
I'm actually looking to buy my first automatic watch and am having a hard time deciding between the Seiko dark manta ray samurai and the spb121. I know that one is a diver watch and the other a field watch, but these are the two watches that I really liked, so I would really love your opinion on them! I'm really looking to buy a Seiko as my first automatic.
I think it comes down to your lifestyle. Both are great first watches. Generally I think a field watch offers a bit more versatility especially with the water resistance here. One thing I might just think about is the color of the watches here. They are vibrant and for your first watch I would suggest something that is going to offer optimal versatility. Both are a little more questionable there, but otherwise, you can’t go wrong.
I would go for the spb121 because it is as rugged and more versatile... but honestly, I would go for a Hamilton as they have better accuracy and better quality control... anyway, good luck picking a watch
@@TeddyBaldassarre thanks! I am looking for something that pops a little though, as this is probably the only watch that I am going to buy and wear for the next maybe 5-6 years. Again, great video, and thanks for posting regular content!!
@@the.goat.yannis thanks for sharing your opinion man!
@@vishwagk8992 of course!
Love you to a review of Jacobs
Please, what's the difference between a perpetual with years and without?, thank you.
Beautiful ❤
My favorite perpetual chrono from Patek is the 5004 white gold with salmon dial and black Arabic numerals… a man can dream.
This watch is so good it deserves a comparison video with the seagull 1963
Love the video's Teddy. Great job.
@ 6:16 The minute hand is badly scratched, and the bluing on the second hand is poorly done. I'd humbly expect excellence for over 150 K... Grand Seiko produces "unblemished dials and hands" for $6000. I love Patek, but this is unacceptable quality control for "The best of the best".
That's not a scratch, it's just the light reflecting off it.
@@denlogv Do you think so? Hmmm... @Teddy Baldassarre ~ "Are those scratches on the minute hand (near the center of the dial) or just light reflecting @3:23 and @6:16 ? "
Agree on the second hand. It looks tarnished.
I would really like to see a classic Ulysse Nardin reviewed by you.
alteranatives for the 5970??? i just love the complications and the look
Superb!
What is the watch you are wearing? Looks good👀
Is there sport watch with perpetual calendar? That would be an ultimate one watch collection
This is my holy grail watch, someday.
Except for the fact that Jaeger LeCoultre makes almost the same watch for 1/6th of the price in gold and 1/10th the price in steel.
Would love to see a comparison between the 5970r and the JLC Master Control Chronograph.
Think about this 13.5 mm thick… or should I say thin for a perpetual calendar chrono 👌🏼
Great watch indeed, used to own one in WG, but to be honest I prefer the current version with its more sophisticated and beautiful " In House" movement, more complicated and readable dial...
That was special Teddy, would love to get yoir hands on review JLC reverso tourbillon.!!!
Loving the content on high end “aspirational” pieces, please keep it going. I’d love more reviews on Patek perpetual calendars or even minute repeaters, if you manage to get your hands on one. Thanks, Teddy!
Please make video on a lange and sohne 1815
The closest to a Perfect Watch!.. Can you do another one for Vacheron Constantine Overseas?
I usually prefer Lange's designs over Patek's, but when it comes to chronographs Lange is so overwhelmingly pretty it's almost too much. Patek chronographs are a perfection--handsome, masculine, elegant. I hope I get to own one before I hit 50.
The most beautiful watch ever made.
Stunning elegance
I will own one someday.
Nice intro, very James Bond
I’ll take two
