Catalogue Essay
In production from 2007 until 2010, reference 5971 is the diamond-set version of reference 5970 - the very last perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch series to use a Lemania 2310 based movement before the introduction of reference 5270. Dazzling and eye-catching, it is an incredibly iconic model that showcases Patek Philippe's skill in merging gem-setting with haute horlogerie.
Due to its generous and modern case proportions, this reference is a favorite among the watch community, and has increased in popularity and collectability over time. The bezel is notably set with top-grade diamonds, totaling approximately 4.37 carats. The black dial is further enhanced by diamond-set numerals.
The total presumed production of reference 5971 is estimated of circa 100 examples making this exquisite model, offered in exceptional condition, a highly collectible complicated Patek Philippe timepiece.
