This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.
Offered in very good condition and complete with all accessories, the present watch is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most prized modern Patek Philippe chronographs.
Part of the Patek Philippe 175th anniversary limited edition commemorative series, the reference 5975 is the first self-winding chronograph-only wristwatch ever produced by the manufacture. It is also the firm's first chronograph without registers or subsidiary seconds and differs from previous Patek Philippe wristwatches through its multi-scale dial. Featuring a telemeter scale to compute distances, tachymeter scale for speed and pulsation scale for heart beats, the reference 5975 is the first Patek Philippe chronograph to enable all these measurements. Following firmly in the tradition of Patek Philippe's best mid-century vintage chronographs, the dial of the 5975 is a masterful piece of design, managing to remain understated and elegant despite its complexity.
Built with the caliber 28-520 stamped by the Patek Philippe Seal, attesting of its impeccable precision and finishing, the wristwatch is delivered only with a solid case back, engraved 175th Anniversary 1839-2014, previously unseen on references with complication delivered after the early 1980s.
With first examples delivered in 2014, the chronograph was instantly adopted by collectors of the brand. Part of a limited production, only 400 watches were cased in white gold. Offered in excellent condition with all its accessories, this wristwatch presents a rare opportunity for astute collectors to acquire one of the most prized modern Patek Philippe chronographs.
