” The Patek Philippe Chronograph Ref:5070 was first released at the Basel fair in 1998,”
– Paul Maudsley
The Ref:5070 was the first new chronograph released by Patek Philippe without a calendar function since the original Ref:1463. The Ref:5070 has a central chronograph seconds hand and a 30-minute register at three o’clock.
This was the final Patek Philippe chronograph to use the famous Lemania caliber 2310 ébauche, (movement) renamed as the caliber CH 27-70 CHR.
This 18ct Rose gold example features a stunning dial with applied rose gold Arabic numerals. The watch is in truly excellent condition with spectacular definition to the case. It was sold here in the UK in November 2004, so now having its 20th Birthday Party. This exceptional example comes from the original owner and is complete with its Patek Philippe 18ct rose gold deployant clasp, original wooden Patek Philippe box, Certificate of Origin and booklet.
An iconic Patek Philippe chronograph ready to be enjoyed and you won’t find a better example here in the U.K.
£48,000.
