The Patek Philippe reference 5970 is a modern interpretation of what a perpetual calendar chronograph should be, aligning with the vision of the brand. Replacing the popular reference 3970, the 5970 was introduced in 2004 until 2010, and was designed by the president of Patek Philippe - Thierry Stern, to develop a watch that would appeal to all generations of watch collectors. A huge watchmaking success, the 5970 retains the Lemania based calibre of the 3970 while increasing the size by 4 mm, favouring modern collectors at the time. One of the most influential perpetual calendar chronographs from the brand, the dial is rich with signatures, indicators, tachymeter, yet achieves a perfectly balanced layout with its spectacular design, inherited from its predecessors such as the references 1518, 2499 and the 3970. The present example features a warm pink gold case paired with a sophisticated silvered dial, its aesthetic appeal would surely appeal to any collector with an admirable taste.
