Catalogue Essay
Proud heir to Patek Philippe's prestigious perpetual calendar chronographs starting with reference 1518, 2499 and 3970, the reference 5970 was the first model developed and designed by Thierry Stern upon his taking the reins of the brand. The reference 5970 in pink gold, like the present example, along side the white gold version was the first variant introduced in 2004 and remained in production until 2009.
The tachymeter scale perfectly encircles the day and month windows which themselves are perfectly clear and legible. The three subdials are also perfectly aligned and in symmetry with the outer dial as well as with the minutes, hours, and chronograph hands.
Preserved in excellent overall condition with its full set of accessories, additional caseback and setting pin this is a rare opportunity to obtain one of Patek Philippe’s last classic perpetual calendar chronograph models in pink gold.
