Lot Essay
From Patek Philippe’s exceptional “Grand Complications” collection, the present white gold reference 5270G-013 is consigned by its original owner and still in the sealed Patek Philippe transparent protective bag.
It offers the collector an opportunity to acquire an untouched and highly complicated Patek Philippe timepiece together with all accessories and packaging provided upon initial delivery.
Reference 5270
Descended from the now legendary references 1518, 2499, 3970 and 5970, the reference 5270 was introduced to the market at the Basel Fair in April of 2011, and was available only in white gold. It directly replaced the celebrated reference 5970, making a few subtle changes to the appearance and design of the watch, it featured the in-house CH29 movement, replacing the Lemania 2310-based CH27 caliber in the 5970. The case of the 5270 is 2mm larger, at 41mm as opposed to the 5970's 39mm, and featured lugs with more of a flared step. The dial of the 5270 no longer featured a tachymeter scale on the outer ring. The 5970 combined the 24 hour indicator with the constant seconds dial, and the leap year indicator with the 30 minutes register. The 5270 separated all of those features - the constant seconds and 30 minute registers are each on their own subsidiary dial, and two small apertures on either side of the date/moon phase subsidiary indicate the leap year and night and day.
In late 2013 the first generation 5270G-001 was discontinued and replaced by a new watch with a different dial type this time including an outer tachymeter scale. The silver opaline version (such as the present watch) was given the reference 5270G-013 and the blue sunburst version the reference 5270G-014.
