Description
The Patek Philippe reference 5070 is a gorgeous, masculine timepiece that makes an impression. Even with the relatively stealthy white gold case, 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!

The original owner of this watch undoubtedly had a special relationship with Patek and custom ordered this amazing black diamond dial for his 5070G. The watch will also be delivered with the standard silver dial. White gold feuille hands. The outermost chapter on the dial is a simple seconds register for the chronograph seconds hand, while the inner chapter is a tachymetric scale.

Movement is the manual winding Patek Philippe 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 8 positions.

Patek hand-sewn crocodile strap with 18k white gold tang buckle.

Watch is 99% new with box and papers and standard silver dial. Long discontinued now, the 5070 is an important and highly collectable Patek Philippe… and a truly beautiful and inspiring wristwatch.
