Catalogue EssayAudacious, dazzling, arresting: the oversized, diamond-set chronograph reference 5071 from Patek Philippe exudes opulence while epitomizing mechanical excellence. Reference 5071 was only available to Patek Philippe's most important clients and produced upon special request. It was incredibly time consuming for the firm to find such well-matched diamonds, and setting the baguette stones was extremely laborious. Not only is the bezel diamond-set, but the sides of the case, between the lugs, top of the lugs, and even the deployant buckle are also all set with baguette cut diamonds. The diamonds weigh approximately 11.55 carats in total. The dial is furthermore set with 9 brilliant diamonds set in chatons, which gleam against the black background. As a result, very few examples were manufactured, and the reference is extremely rare. In fact, according to research, only four examples have appeared on the auction market thus far, of only eight total examples known. Housing the Lemania based caliber CH 27-70, the model, along with sister reference 5070, were the very last chronograph wristwatches to house a Lemania-based movement. Its successor, the 5170, houses a movement that is entirely made in-house by Patek Philippe. The white gold case measures 42 millimeters, making it amongst Patek Philippe's largest wristwatches ever produced yet still very wearable. Accompanied with all of its original accessories, this is a rare chance to acquire one of the firm's most impressive and eye catching chronograph-only wristwatches. Being sold to benefit The One Drop Foundation, a non-profit striving to provide safe drinking water to a vulnerable communities, the present lot is accompanied by original Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin, product literature, leather folio, and inner and outer presentation box.Read MoreMaker BiographyPatek PhilippeSwiss • 1839 Follow Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications.
