The following is a quote from the PanAmerican B707 AFM....

Select the landing gear up after confirming a positive climb is indicated on the pressure altimeter.

True then, on this old design, and true today, on new(er) aircraft.
Is the pressure altimeter the most accurate and reliable instrument for indicating a positive climb is established?

Then, as now....absolutely.
