Catalogue Essay
Reference 5970 is the successor of the celebrated reference 3970. Introduced to the market at the Basel Fair in 2005 and ceased production in 2011, the reference has long been discontinued and is currently replaced by the 5270. With the dial increased from 36 mm. to 40 mm., the watch offers excellent readability. As its predecessors’ reference 3970 and 5004, the reference 5970 was the last Patek Philippe chronograph to be fitted with the Lemania based plate and is still highly sought after by collectors.
This present reference 5970 platinum fitted with a black dial is the most sought after from the series and is achieving the highest prices amongst its peers at auction. Still factory sealed and never been used, the watch is fresh to the market and completed with all original accessories.
