REF. 5070P-001, MOVEMENT NO. 3'715'328, CASE NO. 4'465'213, CIRCA 2008

With only about 500 pieces made in a very short production run, platinum examples of reference 5070 with a blue dial are among the rarest iterations of the model and are particularly valuable to collectors. The reference, which debuted in 1998 and was discontinued in 2010, was Patek Philippe's first chronograph-only model in decades. First available in yellow gold, it was later released in white gold in 2001, in pink gold in 2003, and finally in platinum in 2008.

At its core is the calibre 27-70, which is based on a Nouvelle Lemania ébauche specifically developed for Patek Philippe. The 5070's large case makes it the first production watch from the manufacture to be larger than 40 mm., combining bold proportions with technical sophistication.
