Reference 5270 was introduced in 2011 at Baselworld as the replacement—featuring an in-house movement—for the reference 5970. Both models evolved from a highly successful line of perpetual calendar chronographs, starting in 1941 with the landmark reference 1518, followed by the iconic 2499 released in 1951 and modernized with the reference 3970 from 1986 to 2004.
Fitted with a contemporary and wearable 41mm case, its symmetrical dial offers a layout reminiscent of vintage predecessors, updated with a practical day-and-night indication. Applied pink gold hour markers and pink gold feuille hands harmonize perfectly with the case material.
Four years after its launch, in 2015, the model was updated with an 18K pink gold case following a platinum-cased version released the previous year; however, the present configuration featuring a striking black dial and an integrated gold bracelet only debuted in 2018.
Offered directly by the original owner, this luxurious timepiece is preserved in superb condition and comes with its original invoice, Certificate of Origin and box. Rarely appearing at international auction, it represents a compelling opportunity to acquire one of the most striking perpetual calendar chronographs in Patek Philippe's modern production.
