Patek Philippe Genève, Movement No. 3362896, Ref. 5070G, Cal. 27-70/157, 42 mm, circa 2006
A large wristband chronograph in mint condition, with manual-winding. This piece was produced in a very small annual edition of only 250 pieces. With Patek Philippe sales tag and original certificate.
Case: 18k white gold, glazed screw back, 18k white gold Patek Philippe deployant clasp. Dial: steel-grey, applied Arabic blackened numerals, auxiliary seconds at "9", 30 min. counter, tachy scale, blackened leaf hands.
Reference 5070 marked Patek Philippe’s return to the high quality wrist chronograph after 30 years. The last chronograph model before that had been reference 1463 and its production had ceased by the late 1960s. Reference 5070 was limited to 250 pieces a year and was produced from 1998 to 2010, first in yellow gold and then in white gold, red gold and platinum; the model had a metallic dial in various colours depending on the case material.
Over the years, reference 5070 has become one of the most highly sought after wrist chronographs ever.
