Lot 157 PATEK PHILIPPE
Ref. 5970J
The following two lots, 157 and 158, are fine examples of Patek Philippe’s ref. 5970 model, both consigned by their original owners.
A successor of the celebrated reference 3970, reference 5970 was introduced to the market at Basel World in April 2005 and remained in production until about 2010. The model immediately enjoyed enormous popularity amongst collectors and was available in white gold or pink gold only until 2007 when the production of these two versions ceased. Reference 5970 in yellow gold was in production only in 2008. From 2008 until the end of production, the model was available exclusively in platinum.
Reference 5970 is the last perpetual calendar chronograph of the company featuring the Geneva seal on the movement as Patek Philippe began stamping their movements with the Patek Philippe Seal from mid-2009 as a new quality benchmark for its mechanical timepieces.
