Ref. 5970
Reference 5970 was enormously popular with collectors from the moment it was presented at the Basel Fair in April 2005 to replace the celebrated ref. 3970 and remained so until the end of its production time; until 2007 the model was available either in white gold or in rose gold, a yellow gold variation was only produced for a year in 2008. Shortly before the overall end of production, there was also a platinum version of ref. 5970.
