  • Catalogue Essay

    As the successor to the storied reference 5970, the 5270 was a truly ground-breaking new chapter in the brand’s storied line of perpetual calendar chronographs. Launched in 2011, it was Patek Philippe’s very first perpetual calendar chronograph with a fully in-house movement, the caliber 29-535.

    The present iteration of the reference 5270 was launched in 2018 and made available for the first time in platinum. Highly sought after by collectors for its stunning aesthetics, it is fitted with an elegant "salmon" dial with blackened gold applied baton numerals that are both striking and balanced.

    Fresh to the market and consigned by its original owner, this salmon dial example is only the 17th known to have been offered in public. It was sold by the now-shuttered San Francisco Tiffany & Co. Patek Philippe boutique in 2021, and bears the Tiffany & Co. retailer signature on the certificate of origin, as well as Tiffany outer packaging. The watch is in near-new condition, having hardly been worn, and complete with the entirety of its original accessories.
