Introduced in 2007, the ref. 5971 represents the most glamorous iteration within the celebrated 5970 family. As the final references to house a Lemania-based movement, it was succeeded in 2011 by a new fully in-house caliber. Boasting staggering proportions and an audacious wrist presence, it is not surprising that this timepiece has attained cult status, enjoying instant recognition and becoming increasingly popular and collectible over time.

Not only does the movement earn its fame and collectability, the platinum case received unprecedented glamour with the bezel adorned with 36 handpicked, collection-grade baguette-cut diamonds. Further enhanced with diamond-set hour markers, the ebony black dial is as if surrounded by a baguette-shaped diamond halo. In addition to the diamond-set buckle, it totals 42 baguette-cut diamonds of a whopping 4.37 carats throughout.

Presented in unworn condition and accompanied by all of its original accessories, this opportunity to acquire a fresh-to-the-market ref. 5971P-001 is as rare as the watch itself. A true testament to Patek Philippe's unparalleled expertise in haute horology, this exceptional timepiece represents a crowning jewel in the storied legacy of the perpetual calendar chronograph.
