Catalogue Essay
After a successful run of reference 5970, Patek Philippe replaced the 5970 series in 2011 with Ref. 5270 which is fitted with their first in-house perpetual calendar calibre CH29-535 PS Q that is stamped with the new Patek Philippe hallmark. Three years later, the manufacturer revealed 5271 in Baselworld in 2014 with various gem set variants including emerald, ruby, sapphire and diamonds. Case in platinum along with the glittery décor make this reference an impressive timepiece without being too coarse but a stylish and serious timepiece inside and out.

The present lot ref. 5271/13P-001 is one of the rarest variations, the bezel and lugs are set with 80 brilliant baguette-cut emeralds of approximately 3.57 carats. Patek Philippe certainly spares no expense, the clasp is also set with baguette emeralds to match the case and the final touch, adding a baguette-cut emerald index at 12 O’clock against the glossy black dial that further enhances the charms. The use of emeralds has a long, impressive history since ancient times, and it continues to be relevant today.

This special timepiece is produced in a small series and only offered to the esteemed VIP of Patek Philippe clients. The present lot is ‘Fresh to the market’ and possibly the 3rd emerald-set variant of ref.5271/P to appear in public auction to date. A majestic timepiece that can’t be missed by any discerning collector looking to acquire one of Patek Philippe's gem-set grand complications.
