Read Conditions of Sale
- First unveiled at Baselworld in 1998, the Patek Philippe reference 5070 made a bold statement in the world of traditional watch collecting with its modern design and larger-than-usual case size. This release was a milestone for the brand, marking a fresh chapter to its chronograph models; since the release of the reference 1463, Patek Philippe had not released a simple chronograph.

- The reference 5070 stands out with its 42mm water-resistant case, featuring a screw-down case back and a distinctive stepped bezel that seamlessly blends contemporary style with classic elegance. As one of Patek Philippe's largest watches, it also holds historical significance as the last model to use a modified Lemania 2310-based ébauche. Its design takes cues from the unique reference 2512, an oversized split-seconds chronograph from 1950, now part of the Patek Philippe Museum collection.

- Offered in four case materials—yellow gold, pink gold, white gold, and platinum—the reference 5070 is believed to have been produced in limited numbers. This 2009 white gold example, in exceptional condition and accompanied by its accessories, is a rare and exciting opportunity for discerning collectors.

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.
