Catalogue Essay
The perpetual calendar chronograph has become somewhat of a Patek Philippe signature model and a complication they have had in their catalogue continuously since 1941 and the launch of the reference 1518.
The present reference 5970 is a worthy heir to Patek Phillipe’s iconic and highly coveted perpetual calendar chronographs preceding it, may it be the 1518, 2499 and the more modern 3970.
Manufactured from 2004 to 2011, reference 5970 was Patek Philippe's very last perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch series to use a Lemania 2310 based movement. With the introduction of successor reference 5270, Patek Philippe used its own in-house movement.
The generous 40mm. case and facetted lugs definitely set this model in the 21st century. Upon launch this model became an instant success and since its discontinuation, it has only increased in popularity and collectability.
The present 5970 is superbly versatile, whilst complicated the white gold case and monochromatic silver dial give the watch a zen like serene appearance.
Complete with fitted box, second caseback and original certificate the present 5970 is in excellent condition and worn with great care by its previous owner.
