Offered with its full set of accessories, the present Patek Philippe reference 5270P-001 is a superb example of the manufacture's celebrated perpetual calendar chronograph, combining one of its most prestigious complications with the understated elegance of a platinum case and highly attractive salmon dial.
Reference 5270P-001
Introduced in 2011 as the successor to the celebrated reference 5970, reference 5270 represents an important milestone in the evolution of Patek Philippe's perpetual calendar chronograph. While retaining the classical design codes established by its predecessors, the model introduced a slightly larger 41 mm case, compared with the 40 mm proportions of reference 5970, giving it a more contemporary wrist presence.
Most importantly, reference 5270 was the first Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronograph powered by an entirely in-house chronograph movement, the manually wound calibre CH 29-535 PS Q. Replacing the Lemania-based movements used by previous generations, the calibre represented a major technical achievement for the manufacture.
The movement furthermore bears the Patek Philippe Seal, the manufacture's own hallmark of excellence introduced in 2009. Conceived as a new quality benchmark for Patek Philippe's mechanical timepieces, the Seal extends beyond the movement itself to encompass the entire completed watch, covering standards of precision, craftsmanship and finishing.
This particular configuration was discontinued in 2022, further enhancing its appeal among collectors.
