Reference 5970 was introduced in 2004 and ceased production in 2011, following the introduction of reference 5270. it is interesting to note that this very watch is the earliest known 5970 in white gold to appear at auction.
The watch has been cared for immaculately, and is in excellent overall condition still retaining all accessories including the addition case back. The 5970 is increasingly popular amongst collectors due to its substantial size and very good looks.
