Catalogue Essay
The present reference 5070 chronograph wristwatch was the first chronograph-only wristwatch produced by Patek Philippe since reference 1463, which was discontinued in the late 1960s. The reference was first introduced in 1998 in yellow gold only, and subsequently in white gold in 2001, followed by pink gold in 2003, each with a different dial combination. The present reference is one of the largest wristwatches ever produced by Patek Philippe and was produced in platinum only since 2008. The present watch is cased in platinum and fitted with a blue-metallic dial, giving the watch a contemporary look.
Fresh to the market, the present lot is complete with all accessories, still sealed and never been used before.
