Ref. 5070 is the second largest wristwatch produced by Patek Philippe, with its diameter falling 0.8 mm smaller of the Sky Moon Tourbillon. This particular reference represents the brand's return to the production of chronograph watches in 1998 after an almost 30-year break. The last chronograph model produced before this was Ref. 1463, for which production was halted in the late 1960s. Production of the model ceased in 2010 and was replaced by the Ref. 5170 with only a 39 mm case diameter
