  • Catalogue Essay

    Launched in 2010, reference 5170 has undergone a number of transformations, with the very first model cased in yellow gold. In 2013 a white gold version was launched, featuring white pulsometer scale. The model most notably features the caliber 29-535 PS with the Patek Philippe Seal.

    Introduced at Basel in 2015, this iteration of reference 5170 displays an attractive black dial with Breguet numerals and feuille hands. The launch of this model provided a novel aesthetic for the beloved model. Offered in excellent condition, this timepiece must have been worn a few times only. It is furthermore accompanied by all its original accessories such as the Certificate of Origin, product literature, wallet, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
