The lot is sold in the condition it is in at the time of sale. The online condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot and is for guidance purposes only. The images of the lot also form part of the online condition report for the lot provided by Sotheby's. Any reference to condition in the online condition report does not amount to a full description of condition. The online condition report may make reference to particular imperfections of the lot but you should note that the lot may have other faults not expressly referred to in the online condition report of the lot or shown in the online images of the lot (for example, the online condition report may not specify mechanical replacements or imperfections to the movement, case, dial, pendulum, separate base(s) or dome). Watches in water-resistant cases have been opened to examine movements but no warranties are made that the watches are currently water-resistant. The online condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alteration or adaptation but rather the online condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion (for example, information regarding colour, clarity and weight of gemstones are statements of opinion only and not statements of fact). Please also note that we do not guarantee the authenticity of any individual component parts, such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets and wrist bands, since subsequent repairs and restoration work may have resulted in the replacement of original parts. In addition, certain images of the lot provided online may not accurately reflect the actual condition of the lot (for example, the online images may represent colours and shades which are different to the lot's actual colour and shades). For these reasons, the online condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot. Prospective buyers should also refer to the Buying at Auction guide which includes important notices concerning the type of property in this sale. In particular, please note it is the purchaser's responsibility to comply with any applicable import and export matters, particularly in relation to lots incorporating materials from endangered species. Please be advised that wristbands made of materials derived from endangered or otherwise protected species (i.e. alligator and crocodile) are not sold with the watches and are for display purposes only. We reserve the right to remove these bands prior to shipping. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS ONLINE CONDITION REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE/BUSINESS APPLICABLE TO THE RESPECTIVE SALE. In 2011, Patek Philippe replaced the Ref. 5970 in favor of the Ref. 5270, fitted with the firm's very first in-house perpetual calendar chronograph CH29-535 PS Q caliber. Renowned for their perpetual calendar chronograph movements, this latest model represented the Apex atelier's unrivaled superiority in complications, while paying homage to the icons of their past, such as the Ref. 1518, released in 1941, and Ref. 2499.
The Reference 5271P was launched in 2014, fitting the celebrated model with a black lacquered dial and diamond setting to the bezel, lugs, and buckle. The present lot is dressed with 80 diamonds weighing approximately 4.84 carats. Today we find the 5271P offered in diamond, ruby, or sapphire setting. To the best of our knowledge, only six 5271P in any variation have returned to market, making the present lot an extraordinary opportunity for collectors of fine Patek Philippe wristwatches.
The watch is offered from an important private collection in like-new condition, and complete with a full suite of original accessories including a sealed second case back and setting pin.
