    Note:

    This watch is used but 99% dead mint. Full set with box and papers. Additional case back and setting pin included (not pictured). Swipe left to see additional pics.

    Provenance:

    Bought by me from the first owner in late 2010. Watch was double sealed. I opened it and wore it twice. It has since been stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment.

    Condition:

    Case/crown/pushers/lugs/movement- 99% mint

    Bracelet- factory installed alligator leather strap on a Patek Philippe white gold deployant buckle.

    Summary-

    A rare and hard to come by Ref 5970G White Gold. Model has been discontinued. Research shows that only 2000pcs were produced.

    SALES TERMS

    I only sell to streamline my collection. I am not motivated by profit and so I have no reason to embellish or over describe. I have been on ebay since 2009 with 100% feedback. I have bought many items on www.vintagerolexmarket.net and chimed in on many debates on www.vintagerolexforum.com. You can find my posts by searching my username (singaporeanwatchbaron or thesingaporeanwatchbaron) on those sites or on TRF/WatchProSite/MWR, @SgWatchBaron on Omega Forums (omegaforums.net). I am the owner of @thesingaporeanwatchbaron (Instagram) hence you can surmise that protecting my reputation is of paramount importance.

    Price: $130,000 USD includes delivery Worldwide, and insurance can be provided at buyer's expense. Bank wire or cash and carry preferred. Deal can be done anywhere in Singapore. Preferably at a bank or Patek Philippe boutique/service centre.

    Returns: Guaranteed 100% Patek Philippe Original and matching to the pics or full refund. No exceptions otherwise.


    I am not in the slightest bit offended by offers, but remember that they will only make sense if the watch remains unsold after a few days.

    Payment

    Payment by Bank Transfer is preferred for these larger amounts, I propose we both exchange ID copies and speak by phone to feel comfortable. Face to face is also always welcome.

    Meet-ups in Singapore is also welcomed.

    Some FAQ:

    Why are you selling?

    To fund some Tesla stocks/shares

    Are you a Dealer?

    No.

    What would you say counts against this watch?

    This watch isn't for people who cannot appreciate white gold and the weight of a white gold watch on your wrist.

    What do you like about this watch?

    It's a Patek perpetual calendar, the very best watch in the world, what's not to like about it?

    What parts do you know to be replaced?

    None. I've never opened the caseback, thus it remains factory sealed since the date of production.

    Are the box and papers original to the watch?

    Yes.

    What's the last publicly transacted price for a 5970G?

    Why would she....

    Its called consolidation! offloading all your collection for just ONE WATCH! She does'nt even need to know the price, hell I bet she would ask who the Philippe guy was on the dial!

    Go on I dare ya!! You only live once!

    It's quite ironic that I am selling this Patek to possibly buy some Tesla shares or adding it to my funding of a 2915 and 2998, -1,-2,-3. And Buddy @Larry S would sell his entire collection to buy this one watch! Circle of life I'd dare say.


    In other news, I've just got an possible offer... As such, it is now OHPF.


    Thanks again to those fine lads who left kind comments on it. @Foo2rama @FullyWound @X350 XJR @alam @Drawarms @Larry S @DLT222 @tyrantlizardrex @Jonatan @Screwbacks


    Also, I might have a single sealed 5970R (pic attached to whet the appetite) and a double sealed 5970J on the chopping block soon. Yes I know, the entire holy trinity of 5970's, if you don't count the 5970P. What can I say... the Omega/Tesla bug has bitten me hard.

    As someone who knows nothing of Patek @SgWatchBaron - is this how they come? In a clear baggie?! :)

    Congrats on getting it sold :)

    Many good things in life come in clear baggies... Or so I've heard. Thanks again my friend! But until I see the money in my piggybank it's still OHPF for now. :cool:
