Patek Philippe Genève, Movement No. 3047425, Ref. 5970G-001, Cal. CH 27-70/155, 40 mm, circa 2005
A very rare Geneva wristwatch in practically new condition, with chronograph, perpetual calendar, leap year indicator and moon phase, sold on November 18, 2005 - with original certificate and original hang tag
Case: 18k white gold, glazed screw back, 18k white gold PPC buckle. Dial: silvered, tachy scale.
Reference 5970 was produced from 2004 to 2011 and is Patek Philippe’s last range of wrist chronographs with perpetual calendar to use a movement based on the Lemania 2310 calibre – the successor reference 5270 was fitted with an in-house movement. Reference 5970 is a direct descendant of legendary chronograph references 1518 and 2499, both with perpetual calendars.
This timepiece is in practically new condition and was treated with utmost care by its original wearer. The subsidiary dials for the seconds in combination with 24-h display at 9 o’clock and the 30-minute counter with central leap year indication at 3 o’clock are exquisitely decorated with guilloche pattern. The window for the moon phase in combination with date indication is positioned at 6 o’clock. Two windows for day of the week and month (in English) sit at 12 o’clock, a black tachymeter scale surrounds the dial. The modern, 40 mm case size and the gently curved lugs ensure a high profile on the wrist; the mechanical movement with Geneva seal is revealed by the sapphire crystal back.
The combination of the white gold case and the silbered dial lend this watch a monochrome, low-key appeal, while the timepiece actually has a great number of sophisticated elements and perfect mechanical functionality.
