Patek Philippe
Ref. 5170P-001
A fine and rare platinum chronograph wristwatch with baguette diamond indexes, blue “fume” dial and Certificate of Origin
Full-Cataloguing
Initially introduced in yellow gold in 2010, the reference has witnessed a few variations including examples encased in white gold, pink gold and last but not least platinum. Differing from the rest, the platinum ref. 5170 was the last iteration featuring a refreshed dial with baguette diamond-indexes and an attractive blue fumé dial. In production for less than three years, the platinum example was the very last variant of the reference. In 2019, Patek Philippe discontinued the ref. 5170 and replaced it with an entirely new ref. 5172G.
The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5170P is very well-preserved with minimal wear and accompanied by its Certificate of Origin.
