A large wristband chronograph in near mint condition, with manual-winding, sold on January 12th, 2008. This piece was produced in a very small annual edition of only 250 pieces. With Patek Philippe original box, original certificate, operating instructions and leather wallet

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, pink gold and platinum; the model had a metallic dial in various colours depending on the case material. It is safe to assume that only about 1,000 chronographs were produced in pink gold.
Over the years, reference 5070 has become one of the most highly sought after wrist chronographs ever.
