Why not make a trip out of it and
Feb 27, 2024,00:57 AM
go to the Geneva salon and try it on in person before spending a quarter million or so on a watch. I did try it on at the Geneva Salon and loved it. It is top heavy and the 5270 fits better imo but I also have a large wrist of 7.75 inches or so

Most Patek wears pretty compact/quite well IMO

Not a problem at all for that wrist size. Maybe check out some of Tim Mosso's videos and see how some of the watches you already own look on him VS this watch & infer from there.
I've tried on a friend's black version...

...and it seemed to be a bit top-heavy on my 7.25" wrist. But very beautiful. If they could make it in A it would help I think...
My friend favors platinum watches...

...and even though I have a large-ish wrist (larger than his) they often feel unbalanced. But I think that could be remedied by getting the right strap fit that puts the watch directly on top of the wrist with no 'pull' from either side, if this makes sen...
This is new info to me...

...your 5970P is listed at 40mm and 13.5mm. Really close to the 5370P. With a custom strap I think you'll be fine : )

I have both blue and black. both beautiful but if I can only haver one I prefer blk my wrist is flat on top 6.5" it sits beautifully and is not top heavy. but if your have rounded wrist perhaps it turns as it's platinum, thus heavy. I also have 5970 and 5...
If you can wear the 5970P, you can handle the 5370P...what is 1mm and a few grams?
By: Clueless_Collector : February 27th, 2024-00:54
You're not wearing it for prolong period of times, just like handling precious antique China, delicate (don't drop it!!), touch, wipe it soft cloth, wear it on the wrist, look at it once a while, press the buttons. When you're wearing it, for black tie ev...
Lol it was in October so I had long sleeves

Also I was there to play in a tennis tournament so we were mostly either at the tennis club or private residence so quite safe. I am not sure I would recommend walking around Rome with the 5370 on your wrist wearing a T-shirt! I think the key is to be awa...

Photos on my 6.5 inch wrist

I also have a 6.5 inch wrist, and I think it fits perfectly on my wrist. It does have heft, but I don't find it unwieldy and the size has never felt too large for my wrist. The top of my wrist is pretty flat, so depending on the shape of your wrist you ma...
Perfecto!

I too share your predicament!
By: sham1 : February 27th, 2024-01:50
This watch is lovely but it will be too large for your wrist. I have a wrist of similar measurements and I am unable to wear the 5370 or the 5270.
I love the 5370P and it wears perfectly for me.
By: russell996 : February 27th, 2024-06:55
As others have said, watches on the wrist are very subjective so I think it is time and money well spent going somewhere to try the piece. If you are buying new then your AD might well organise to get a piece in to try, mine did. If going secondary then y...

my wrist size is 16,5 cm, so very small.
By: Peter : February 27th, 2024-07:35
but i have stopped worrying about it and wear what i like. surely i don't want to look like a mannequin with an arnold schwarzenegger-offshore but other than that i gave up on the standard wearability rules and stopped measuring whether the lugs reach one...
Yep.

Stunning ref
By: keks : February 27th, 2024-11:24
Hope you will find your way to try one!!! Look forward to updates!!! I have a marginally larger wrist, about 6.75inches and tried both the blue and the black dial versions in the past. Both are stunning in their own way but for choice would definitely go ...
The 5370 will wear a lot bigger than the 5970
By: yming : February 27th, 2024-13:58
Lug to lug the 5970 is ~ 46mm.. 5370 is 50mm, which is definitely > what I am used to for a dress watch The thin bezel also will make the watch wear larger than it is
I have a 7.5 inch wrist…
By: westrop : February 27th, 2024-15:07
I found it difficult to get the watch to sit right. As others have said it is also too heavy. ...
