Manufactured from 2004 to 2011, reference 5970 was the very last perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch series to use a Lemania 2310 based movement before the introduction of reference 5270.
Due to its generous and modern case proportions, this reference is a favorite among the watch community, and has increased in popularity and collectability over time. While the reference has enjoyed variations such as different gem-set bezels and various dial designs, examples cased in yellow gold like this watch are the true classics. The present watch is fresh to the market and is presented in like new condition.
