Catalogue Note

The Ref. 5971P exemplifies the technical mastery of Patek Philippe combined with a luxurious baguette diamond-setting, totalling 4.39 carats.  This piece is the only haute joaillerie timepiece in Patek Philippe's impressive arena of men's complicated watches.  This wristwatch beats with the highly-coveted Nouvelle Lémania movement exclusively made for Patek Philippe, the legendary calibre CH 27-70 Q, which is highly regarded as the most beautiful classic manually-wound column-wheel chronograph mechanism ever made.  The elegant diamond-setting embellishes the sculpted platinum case perfectly, creating a mesmerizing dazzle against the masculine black dial.  The Ref. 5971P is a testament to the aesthetic and technical sophistication of Patek Philippe.
