Catalogue Essay
Combining a complicated mechanism with a stunning ruby-set bezel and lugs, along with ruby-set clasp, the reference 5271/12P is a wonderful symbiosis of haute horlogerie and joaillerie. Released in 2014 as a jeweled version of the reference 5270, this was the first model offered in platinum, and featured a black lacquered dial with ruby-set 12-hour marker.
The Grand Complications watches by Patek Philippe are highly desirable and collectible and the reference 5271/12P embodies the spirit of these masterpieces. Produced in diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and rubies like the present watch, both the references 5270 and 5271 featured the caliber 29-535, Patek Philippe’s in-house movement, which replaced the Lemania caliber that had been used since 1986.
This ruby-set perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch remains factory double sealed. The present watch is new and as confirmed on the original certificate of origin, it has 89 baguette-cut rubies for a total of 5.3 carats.
