Although not a limited edition, Patek Philippe has self-professed that reference 5370P is highly limited in production. The reason behind this is the watch’s most unique feature – its black enamel dial, the creation for which is a time-consuming process requiring a high degree of specialisation and skill. After melting in an oven at 850 degrees Celsius, the coating is then allowed to solidify to a glasslike consistency, resulting in an intensely 'backer than black colour'. To accommodate the small feet of the white-gold Breguet numerals, small holes must then be drilled into the dial, a process that requires great care due to the fragile and brittle nature of enamel.
The split-second chronograph’s movement (beautifully hand finished and visible through the glazed back) is housed in a 41 mm. platinum case that subtly merges with the lugs and crystal, resulting in a highly sophisticated and elegant watch. With a design reminiscent of the brand’s older watches, this is a must-have for the ultimate Patek fan.
