Catalogue Essay
The Patek Philippe ref. 5970 was launched in 2004 paying its homage to the legendary 2499. With a contemporary approach to its aesthetics, the reference features a much larger case size measuring 40mm diameter, a significant increase from its predecessor. Furthermore, the reference was the last to feature a Lemania based caliber CH 27-70 Q and stamped with the Geneva seal before it was replaced by the firm's very first in-house perpetual calendar chronograph caliber via the ref. 5270 and stamped with the new Patek Philippe seal. Introduced in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum, the white gold iteration features an exquisitely finished brushed silvered dial with blackened white gold hands and indexes giving the dial a perfect contrast as well as enhancing its legibility.
The present example ref. 5970G-001 is presented in excellent overall condition with very minimal signs of wear. It is believed that no more than 1000 pieces were encased in white gold from 2004 to 2008. Complete with the full set of accessories including the Certificate of Origin and an additional caseback, it is most definitely an example that would impress discerned Patek Philippe collectors.
