Catalogue Note

The production of REF. 5970 started in 2005 and replaced the highly acclaimed REF. 3970. Also equipped with a perpetual calendar and chronograph functions, the REF. 5970 re-interprets its classic predecessor. The REF. 5970 feature a larger and more desirable 40 mm case, compared with the 36 mm case of REF. 3970. Apart from its impressive size, the REF. 5970's enlarged dial is distinguished by a tachymetric scale, enabling its wearer to instantly calculate the speed of a timed interval. This model is no longer produced in white gold.
