Catalogue Essay
The serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph is one of Patek Philippe’s most historic and iconic timepieces. Its roots date back to 1941 with the creation of the reference 1518. The reference 5270 is the latest version of this complication by Patek Philippe, following the 1518 (1941-1951), the 2499 (1951-1987), the 3970 (1987-2004), and finally, the 5970 (2004-2011) that officially marked the end of Patek Philippe’s use of outsourced – and superbly modified – movements for their base chronograph calibers.

The reference 5270 was a truly groundbreaking successor to the brand’s storied perpetual calendar line. With its launch in 2011, it was Patek Philippe’s very first perpetual calendar chronograph with a fully in-house movement.

Versatile and wearable, the present early example retains its original accessories and is the perfect entry into contemporary high complications from Patek Philippe.
