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.
