Patek Philippe
Ref. 5975J-001
175th Anniversary Multi-Scale Chronograph
An attractive and virtually brand new limited edition yellow gold chronograph wristwatch with multi-scale dial, Certificate of Origin, Attestation, Commemorative Coin, and presentation box, factory single-sealed
Full-Cataloguing
The dial of reference 5975 is a tribute to Patek Philippe's chronographs of the 1940s and 1950s, featuring a lovely three scale indication with a telemeter on the outermost scale for the calculation of distances, a pulsometer graduated for 15 pulsations for the calculation of heartbeats, and a tachymeter for the computation of speed. Surprisingly the watch can be mistaken for a simple three handed watch as Patek Philippe decided to forego the habitual chronograph sub dials.
With an elegant 40mm case, architecturally stepped lugs and bezel, and a solid caseback with commemorative engraving, the 5975 is a bold departure from other contemporary chronographs produced by Patek Philippe.
From the collection of an esteemed private collector, the present watch remains unworn in its factory single seal, with all of its original accessories.
