Description
The Patek Philippe reference 5070 is a gorgeous, masculine timepiece that makes an impression. Even in this relatively stealthy configuration of white gold and silver dial, this is a watch whose quality is unmistakable and will make a very positive impression on watch enthusiasts and the unwashed alike.

In fact, in my opinion, it is the now discontinued reference 5070 that marked and launched the twenty first century incarnation of Patek Philippe – large, modernly styled timepieces that are highly coveted by the collector’s market.

The sculpted, massive 18k white gold case measures 42mm diameter by 13mm thick. The bezel is very broad and is set off by the large winding crown, rectangular chrono-pushers and long, thick lugs. The lugs are stepped, and anyone paying attention knows that Patek uses stepped lugs on only the timepieces they consider elite like the famous references 2499, 3970, 5970 etc.. Magnificent case!

Dial is dark smoky silver. Applied white gold numerals and hands, which have been painted black. The outermost chapter on the dial is a simple seconds register for the chronograph seconds hand, while the inner chapter is a tachymetric scale. Let me note that the numerals and hands are just perfect in their finish. The skill involved in producing such a perfect outcome is worth appreciating. Perfection lies in the details.

Movement is the manual winding PP Caliber 27, clearly visible through the sapphire display back, proudly displaying its Geneva Seal. 24 jewels in this beauty, which beats at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour... which helps to extend the power reserve to approximately 56 hours. Movement is adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and in 6 positions.

Black Patek hand-sewn crocodile strap with contrasting stitching and 18k white gold deployant clasp.

Watch is new with box and papers. Long discontinued now, the 5070 is an important and highly collectable Patek Philippe… and a truly beautiful and inspiring wristwatch.
