Created to commemorate Patek Philippe’s 175th anniversary in 2014, the ref. 5975 is a distinctive interpretation of the traditional chronograph, combining historical references with a decidedly modern design. Produced in limited numbers, the reference was offered in yellow, pink and white gold, as well as platinum, with the white gold version limited to 400 examples.
The dial takes inspiration from Patek Philippe’s chronographs of the 1940s and 1950s, incorporating three concentric scales for measuring speed, distance and pulse. Rather unusually, the chronograph indication dispenses with the traditional sub-dials, allowing the scales to occupy the full surface of the dial and giving the watch an unexpectedly clean appearance.
The 40mm white gold case is complemented by stepped lugs and bezel, while the solid caseback features a commemorative engraving celebrating the manufacture’s 175th anniversary. The combination of white gold and the highly graphic dial gives the ref. 5975G a particularly crisp and contemporary character.
The present example remains unworn in its original factory single-sealed condition and is accompanied by its complete set of accessories.
