  • Catalogue Essay

    Patek Philippe’s reference 5270 perpetual calendar chronograph was introduced in 2011 at Baselworld as the replacement for the reference 5970 that was first released in 2004. Both models evolved from a highly successful line of perpetual calendar chronographs, starting in 1941 with the famed reference 1518 – the world’s first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch, followed by the iconic 2499 released in 1951, and modernized with the reference 3970 from 1987 to 2004. The reference 5270 broke ground from its historical past and was Patek Philippe’s first perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch with a fully in-house movement.

    Four years after its launch, in 2015, the model was updated with an 18 karat rose gold case, like the present example, following a platinum-cased example released the year prior. Fitted with a very wearable 41mm diameter case, its symmetric dial has a layout reminiscent of vintage models that’s been modernized with night and day indication. Applied rose gold hour markers and rose gold feuille hands perfectly match the case. The hands and numerals on the 5270R match the case and offer a wonderful juxtaposition

    Fresh to market and consigned by the original owner, this rare pink gold perpetual calendar chronograph is preserved in excellent condition and is complete with its original certificate and presentation box. It represents an opportunity to own one of the most striking and iconic timepieces in Patek Philippe's collection.
