Catalogue Essay
Patek Philippe made a bold move at Basel in 1998 when they reintroduced a line of manually wound chronograph only wristwatches. The reference 5070 was one of the largest dimension watch produced at 42mm diameter, and it was a return to the golden age of horology inspired by a rare oversized split-seconds aviator’s chronograph, the reference 2512, which measured an astounding 46mm in the 1950s. Not since the 1960s and the reference 1463, had the firm produced a chronograph wristwatch that didn’t feature a perpetual calendar as well. Considered a modern classic with its masculine appeal and Lemania based movement, the 5070 in platinum was in production from 2008 until 2010 and was made in the fewest numbers, while the yellow gold version white black dial was released in 1998, white gold examples in 2001 and pink gold examples in 2003. The present watch is fresh to the market.
