Catalogue Essay
The present watch is only the second example of a reference 5070 in white gold and retailed by Tiffany & Co. to ever appear on the auction market. Offered in excellent condition, it is offered with its Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin stamped Tiffany & Co., hang tag, product literature and leather wallet.
Inspired by the case and dial design of the unique Patek Philippe split-seconds chronograph reference 2512 from 1950, reference 5070 was an incredibly novel and interesting addition to the manufacture's complicated line. The model was furthermore fitted with a heavily modified Lemania 2310 ebauche before Patek Philippe switched to an in-house caliber with the presentation of the reference 5170.
A landmark model in the history of Patek Philippe, reference 5070 was the first serially produced modern chronograph-only model released since the end of reference 1463's production. Introduced in 1998 at Basel, the model was an instant hit with its large, stepped case and bold proportions.
