Catalogue Essay
In celebration of its 175th anniversary in 2014, Patek Philippe presented a chronograph honoring its prestigious past in a playfully contemporary manner. The reference 5975 was produced in a limited edition of 400 pieces each in yellow, pink and white gold, and 100 pieces in platinum

The dial of reference 5975 is a tribute to Patek Philippe's chronographs of the 1940s and 1950s, featuring a lovely three scale indication with a telemeter on the outermost scale for the calculation of distances, a pulsometer graduated for 15 pulsations for the calculation of heartbeats, and a tachymeter for the computation of speed. Surprisingly the watch can be mistaken for a simple three handed watch as Patek Philippe decided to forego the habitual chronograph sub dials.

With an elegant 40mm case, architecturally stepped lugs and bezel, and a solid caseback with commemorative engraving, the 5975 is a bold departure from other contemporary chronographs produced by Patek Philippe.

From the collection of an esteemed private collector, the present watch remains unworn in its factory single seal, with all of its original accessories.
