Catalogue Essay
The Patek Philippe ref. 1518 holds an influential place in watchmaking history. Its classic subdial layout and moonphase design established an aesthetic that continues to be seen in later perpetual calendar chronograph models like the references 2499 (1951-1987), 3970 (1987-2004), 5970 (2004-2011), and 5270.
The present ref. 5971P represents the pinnacle of the 5970 line. Launched in 2007 as one of the last Lemania-based movements, the ref. 5971 made its final catalog appearance in 2011. With powerful proportions and wrist presence, this discontinued rarity has become increasingly popular among collectors in recent years.
True to Patek Philippe's standards of intricate detail, the bezel is not the only feature graced with hand-selected diamonds. The ebony black lacquered dial is surrounded by a baguette diamond halo and enhanced with diamond hour markers, totaling 42 diamonds at 4.37 carats. The timepiece is complete with a gem-set buckle.
Fresh-to-market, this is the 47th known example of ref. 5971P to have surfaced on the market and is offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories. This beautiful diamond-set platinum perpetual calendar chronograph exemplifies the pinnacle of watchmaking and haute joaillerie.
