Created to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Beyer Chronometrie Zurich, this timepiece is a limited edition of reference 5170, the manually wound chronograph that Patek Philippe debuted in 2010. The Beyer anniversary edition is distinguished by its blue chronograph and 30-minute register hands, which pay homage to the classic blued steel hands of past Patek Philippe models. The tachymeter scale, which takes the place of the original model’s pulsometer scale and makes it possible to calculate speed, further echoes this tasteful color accent.
This limited edition of just 50 watches, individually numbered from 1 to 50, is one of Patek Philippe’s incredibly rare timepieces with a sought-after double signature, with the ‘Beyer’ logo displayed on the lower half of the dial. The additional solid 18k gold caseback is exquisitely engraved with the words ‘Fabriquée pour le 250ème de Beyer à Zurich 1760-2010’ and the watch’s unique serial number.
Beyer Chronometrie Zurich
The esteemed company has been handed down from father to son, each of whom is a fully qualified watchmaker, since its founding in 1760. Beyer Chronometrie has been selling Patek Philippe watches for more that 175 years and was the first store in Switzerland to focus solely on watches, clocks, and jewelry. The two businesses have been working together since Patek Philippe's beginnings, making it the longest-running partnership either house has ever established. In July 2011, Beyer Chronometrie were given the honor of opening the first retailer-managed Patek Philippe Boutique in Switzerland, in recognition of this special partnership. Since 2025, the business is now headed by Muriel Zahn-Beyer.
