Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered dial and raised rose gold indexes in 2005 and its subsequent sale on October 6th of the same year. Further accompanied by a Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated October 2005, additional solid case back, setting pin, product literature, sales receipt, leather envelope, presentation box and outer packaging.
Offered fresh to market, the present watch is complete of all of its accessories, most notably the Certificate of Origin and the second case back, by its original owner who bought it at the Patek Philippe Salon in Geneva. Furthermore this masterpiece is in stunning and close to mint condition.
An instant classic by definition, reference 5970 is the heir to reference 3970. In production from 2004 to 2010, it has been replaced by reference 5270. The third (out of five, at the moment) member of the Patek Philippe perpetual chronograph family, one of the most revered lineages among the company's contemporary and historical production, the model is a mesmerizing "trait d'union" between modern watchmaking and historical heritage. The dial is obviously inspired by 1940s pieces, with its unmistakable railway minute divisions combined with Arabic five minute divisions, and the outer tachymeter scale.
The case design is more modern, with a generous 40 mm. diameter and sculpted lugs, more than worthy successors to the iconic fluted lugs of previous reference 3970, and of course incepted with the even earlier reference 2499. The movement is based on a Lémania ébauche, heavily modified and finished by Patek Philippe. This reference is the last perpetual chronograph by Patek Philippe powered by a modified Lémania movement: the historical partnership between the companies ended in 2010, with reference 5270 sporting an "in-house" movement.
