The platinum version of reference 5970 was the final material to be released in the series. Available for approximately 1 year only between 2009 and 2010 the 5970P reportedly has the lowest production of any Ref. 5970 metals. Replaced by the contemporary ref. 5270, the 5970, particularly in the rarest and most precious of metals, platinum, is considered to be the one the most desirable and iconic Patek Philippe production models released in recent years.
