Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 5970G-001 18k WG Box and Papers

Hailing from an extended family of perpetual calendar chronographs, the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph ref. 5970 is a timepiece that embodies the famed watchmaker’s traditional approach to Haute Horlogerie. Launched in 2004 and beginning production in 2005 and produced for a short six years until 2011, the ref. 5970 was offered as part of Patek’s long and storied past of producing perpetual calendar chronographs. Powered by one of the most stunning column wheel chronograph movements ever made, the ref. 5790 displays behind its exhibition caseback the beautiful Lemania cal. CH 27-70Q movement. Produced exclusively for Patek Philippe, this labyrinthine movement combines a perpetual calendar within its chronograph subdials in keeping with the iconic design language of its predecessor, the ref. 1518. Featuring a leap-year indicator, a pointer date, a 24-hour indicator, and a moon phase all within its three subdials and the day and month within two apertures at 12 o’clock, the ref. 5970’s silver dial is as well-balanced and symmetrical as possible. Found within a modern 40mm 18kt white gold case, the ref. 5970 is modern in its execution. Made of 18kt white gold, the ref. 5970G that we have here was only offered for a short two year period until 2007, which is when it was then removed from the catalog.

CH27-70Q Reference : 5970G Bracelet : Leather strap Year : 2007 Condition : Near-Mint Material : 18kt white gold Included : Watch, Box, Papers, Second Caseback, Setting Pin, and Hang Tag Dial Color : Silver THE DIAL With its silver on white color scheme, the ref. 5970's display combines with its construction's color palette to create a decidedly monotone aesthetic, with its blued hands and indices breaking from that design language in a subtle but impactful manner. THE CONSTRUCTION Boasting a rather modern profile, the ref. 5970G features a hefty 40mm diameter case that stands 13.5mm tall with long lugs, meaning it wears more in line with modern sizing standards than other perpetual calendar chronograph models.
