Catalogue Essay
Released in 2010, the Patek Philippe ref. 5170 was first introduced in yellow gold housing the firm’s very first in-house chronograph movement. Succeeding the former ref. 5070 powered by the firm’s last Lemania-based caliber, the ref. 5170 takes its inspiration from early 1930s chronograph reference 130. Adopting a Calatrava style 39.5mm diameter case, the aesthetics are kept classic featuring rectangular pushers paying homage to its ancestral predecessors.
The white gold variant of the reference was launched in 2013, first featuring a silvery white dial with pulsation scales and later replaced with a black dial with the absence of a pulsation scale.
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.
