Catalogue Essay The reference 5970 inherited the mantle of Patek Philippe’s flagship complication – the perpetual calendar chronograph – upon its introduction in 2004. At the time, it was the latest in a long line of lauded wristwatches to feature this specific complication, all of which have been beautifully executed by Patek Philippe without a break for almost eight decades. The production run of each serially-produced perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch is as follows: reference 5970 (2004 – 2011), reference 3970 (1987 - 2004). reference 2499 (1949 - 1987), and reference 1518 (1940 - 1951). Each has its own devoted followers, highly coveted and revered by collectors, and the 5970 is no different. According to scholarship, the reference 5970 was the first wristwatch designed and developed by Thierry Stern upon his assumption of the leadership of Patek Philippe. The 5970 was available in all four precious metals, with relatively standardized dial layouts, and was only produced for seven short years, giving it the most limited production run of any Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronograph. It was also the last to use the modified Lemania 2310, as the 5270 replaced the 5970 and featured an in-house movement. The case of the 5970 presents a significant increase in size, from 36mm in the 3970 to a more modern 40mm, adding to its masculine appeal. Both the white gold and pink gold variants were only produced during the model’s first three years. The present example in 18K white gold cannot be exceeded in terms of condition. It retains all of its original accessories and is double sealed in its factory box – the closest one can get to traveling back in time to 2006 and purchasing it directly from the salon.
