Catalogue Essay
The Patek Philippe reference 5070 was first introduced at the 1998 Baselworld Fair. Sending shockwaves across the board, this large 42mm wristwatch marked a momentous milestone for the firm as the first modern chronograph-only wristwatch since the release of reference 1463 in the 1940s. A worthy and highly anticipated successor to this classic chronograph, the 5070 is fitted in a water-resistant case with a screw-down case back.
The reference 5070 enjoys a unique spot in Patek Philippe’s history as one of the largest watches it had produced. A delight to admire through the sapphire case back, it is the last chronograph equipped with the legendary Lemania 2310-based ébauche before Patek Philippe developed their in-house calibre. Despite its larger case size, the relatively slim profile and downturned lugs lends the watch an elegant and comfortable presence on the wrist.
Introduced in a total of four different case materials, including yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum, the pink gold variant was first introduced in 2003 and was discontinued in 2007.
In excellent overall condition, this example comes from a prestigious private collection and is accompanied by all its original accessories.
