Lot Essay

From enthusiasts to collectors alike, all eyes were captured at Baselworld in 2011 with the introduction of Patek Philippe reference 5270G. The timepiece marked the newest iteration from the legendary Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronograph family that began with reference 1518 in 1941.

Reference 5270 differentiates itself from its predecessor (reference 5970) by increasing the case diameter to 41mm while decreasing the case thickness by 1mm. Achieved through the new, in-house caliber CH 29-535 PS Q, the movement features an additional complication of a day/night indicator which further pushes the caliber as an impressive feat of engineering. The subsidiary registers have also been slightly lowered just below the central axis.

The present lot is a first series 5270 reigning from the first year of production in 2011, as confirmed by the Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin. Reference 5270G-001 has quickly become a collector's favorite, and is an incredible, complicated timepiece that wonderfully complements contemporary tastes and wrists.
