Patek Philippe launched reference 5170 in 2010 to succeed the Lemania based movement, reference 5070. The 5170 features a reduced case size at 39 mm from the former 42mm. It was equipped with the brand’s first in-house manual-winding chronograph movement, the Cal. 29-535 PS - the collecting community was immediately enamored by the watch’s classical good looks and technical ingenuity.
The platinum version of the reference with ‘bleu degrade noir’ tachymeter dial and baguette diamond indexes, such as the present watch, was introduced in 2017 as reference 5170P-001. This was the final year of production and the model was discontinued in 2018.
