Patek Philippe Chronograph 5070G-001 18k WG
Launched in 1998, the Patek Philippe Chronograph ref. 5070 is an incredibly important milestone within Patek Philippe’s catalog of chronographs thanks to its status as their last chronograph to utilize a third-party movement. Powered by the manual-wind cal. CH 27-70, the ref. 5070 uses the Lemania cal. 2310 as its base, a practice that the ref. 5070 ended in 2010 following its discontinuation. An elegant watch inside and out, the ref. 5070G that we have here features a large 42mm 18kt white gold construction with a unique stepped design throughout its case with a stepped bezel flowing onto its stepped lugs, which add an architectural aesthetic to the timepiece. Boasting a stunning silver dial with sunken subdials in a bi-compax arrangement and applied Arabic numerals, the ref. 5070G is a true monochromatic masterpiece that is believed to have been produced no more than 1000 times by the Genevan giants.
THE DIAL Featuring a silver dial with applied Arabic numerals and a bi-compax layout with two sunken subdials at 3 and 9 o'clock, the ref. 5070's display is thoughtfully designed, much like its large 42mm white gold case that continues the dial's stepped design across its bezel and lugs.
THE MOVEMENT An important watch in the evolution of Patek's chronograph offerings, the ref. 5070 was the last Patek to be offered using a third-party chronograph movement, with its cal. CH 27-70 using the Lemania cal. 2310 as its base, an iconic movement throughout the world of horology.
