Combining a complicated perpetual calendar chronograph mechanism with an enigmatic black dial, along with finely crafted platinum case, the reference 5970P is a wondrous symbiosis of Haute Horlogerie and supreme craftsmanship. At the time, it was the latest in a long series of widely-adored wristwatches to house this specific complication. The production run of each serially-produced perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch is as follows: ref. 5970 (2004 – 2011), ref. 3970 (1987 - 2004). ref. 2499 (1949 - 1987), and ref. 1518 (1940 - 1951). According to our research, the ref. 5970 was the first model developed and designed by Thierry Stern upon his took the reins of leadership.
Manufactured from 2004 to 2011, reference 5970 was Patek Philippe's very last perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch series to use a Lemania 2310 based movement. With the introduction of successor reference 5270, Patek Philippe begin to use its own in-house movement.
Due to its generous and modern case proportions, this reference is a favorite among the watch community. Since the model stopped production, it has only increased in popularity and collectability. Compared to its predecessor, reference 3970, reference 5970 has a much larger and heftier case size of 40 mm diameter.
While the reference has enjoyed variations such as different gem-set bezels and various dial designs, examples cased in platinum like this watch are the true classics. The black dial immediately distinguishes the case metal, as does the subtle diamond between 6 o'clock - both indicate Patek Philippe's use of platinum.
Fresh to the auction market, and preserved in pristine likely unworn condition, the gorgeous black beauty is accompanied with its Certificate of Origin, additional solid caseback, and accessories.
