Catalogue Essay
The reference 5170, initially launched in yellow gold, was introduced in 2010 and housed the first in-house, “simple” chronograph movement by Patek Philippe. It replaced the 12-year run of the reference 5070, the first Patek chronograph to be produced since the discontinuation of the iconic vintage reference 1463 in the late 1960s.

The reference has witnessed a few variations including examples encased in white gold, pink gold and last but not least platinum. Arresting and striking, the platinum reference 5170 was the last iteration produced and featured baguette diamond-indexes and an attractive blue fumé dial. In production for less than three years, the platinum example was the very last variant of the reference. In 2019, Patek Philippe discontinued the ref. 5170 and replaced it with an entirely new ref. 5172G.

Offered with its Certificate of Origin, product literature, presentation box and outer packaging, the present watch is preserved in excellent and barely worn condition.
