Released in 2004, the Patek Philippe ref. 5970 was the successor to the manufacturer’s legendary line of perpetual chronograph watches, including the ref. 1518, 2499 and 3970.
Available in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum, the present timepiece features an elegantly finished black dial with printed white script, paired with white gold hands and indexes, giving a nice contrast and enhanced legibility. The layout of the dial gives a strong impression showing it is a Patek Philippe perpetual calendar through and through.
Encased in the solid platinum is the cal. CH 27-70 Q. Based on the Lemania 2310, the ref. 5970 is the last perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch that uses an outsourced Lemania ébauche. A free-sprung Gyromax balance wheel, a redesigned chronograph lever and some customed features were added by Patek Philippe to make it to be one of the most admired perpetual chronographs offered in the market. After it was discontinued in 2011, the successor, the ref. 5270, would then use Patek Philippe’s own in-house movement.
Offered by the original owner, the present timepiece is fresh-to-the-market, retaining in its single-factory-condition, accompanied by its original accessories including the additional solid caseback.
