An attractive and rare platinum chronograph wristwatch with baguette diamond indexes, blue “fume” dial, Certificate of Origin and presentation box
Full-Cataloguing
- This model replaced the previous ref. 5070, which was equipped with the last Lemania-based caliber CH 27-70. The ref. 5170 boasts a Calatrava-style case with a comfortable 39.5mm diameter, a notable reduction from the 42mm case of its predecessor.
- Initially launched in yellow gold in 2010, the reference has seen several variations, including versions in white gold, pink gold, and, notably, platinum. What sets the platinum ref. 5170 apart is its refreshed dial, adorned with baguette diamond indexes and an attractive blue fumé finish. Produced for less than three years, this platinum variant was the final iteration of the reference. In 2019, Patek Philippe discontinued the ref. 5170, replacing it with the entirely new ref. 5172G.
- The present example is exceptionally well-preserved, showing minimal wear and comes complete with its Certificate of Origin and presentation box.
