  • Catalogue Essay

    The sixth interpretation of a perpetual calendar chronograph manufactured in a series, the 5270 was first introduced in 2011 and is the largest perpetual calendar chronograph ever made by the firm. The watch is completely manufactured in house with no parts from any other Swiss suppliers and the registers have been positioned further down the dial, giving the watch a fresh and more contemporary look.

    Still in current production, the watch has began to evolve with a new blue dial being recently introduced and we anticipate further upgrades in the future. The present watch, seldom worn, is complete with all accessories.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
