PATEK PHILIPPE 5970 G PERPETUAL CALENDAR CHRONOGRAPH 18

Please note that the 5970G is discontinued and no longer being delivered from Patek.

The Patek Philippe 5970 is a thoroughly modern interpretation of Patek's classical pairing of the perpetual calendar and chronograph complications. When Patek announced plans to discontinue the previous perpetual/chronograph model reference 3970, people asked why.

However, the reference 5970 needs no justification: this is a gorgeous watch in every aspect. The 5970's case is at once more modern and more vintage in appearance than its predecessor. It's a bolder, more massive case with vintage lines. The square chronograph pushers are reminiscent of its ancestor; the reference 1518.

Let's start with the 18k white gold case. The dimensions are a robust 40mm diameter by 13.5mm thick, and has three piece construction. The bezel is attractively massive, while the center section bows quite broadly to allow room for the large caliber, and the screw down case back seals everything securely. Lugs are flared, which imparts a vintage style, which is reinforced by the rectangular shaped chronograph pushers. The watch is delivered with a sapphire crystal display back. Domed sapphire crystal in front. Water resistant to 25 meters.

The Patek Philippe Caliber 27 70 Q is a sight to behold. Manual winding with 24 jewels, power reserve of approximately 55 hours, beating at 18,000 beats per hour. This truly superlative caliber provides a perpetual calendar and column wheel chronograph construction.

Dial is silver with white gold hands and applied hour markers. The hands and hour markers are painted a graphite color for improved legibility. Days and months are displayed beneath 12 o'clock, nine o'clock subdial displays constant seconds and 24 hour indicator, three o'clock subdial displays leap year and 30 minute chronograph counter, and the moonphase and date are displayed above six o'clock.

Strap is dark brown Patek Philippe hand-sewn crocodile with an 18k white gold Patek deployant clasp.

Watch is new and will be delivered with box, setting stylus and papers.
