Model: Chronograph Reference: 5070G-001 Case Material: White Gold Bracelet Material: Leather strap Year: 2002 Movement: Manual Caliber: 27-70 CHR Case N°: 4 160 431 Movement N°: 3 147 101 Dimensions: 42 mm Signed: Dial, movement and case Accessories: Extract from the Archives The reference 5070 was launched in 1998 and it was the first manual-wind, pure chronograph from Patek in over 30 years. Its nearest relative is the iconic Ref 1463, the Ref 5070 doesn’t look that much like its predecessor, particularly with a 42 mm case and a dramatically thick, stepped bezel in fact it took the inspiration in part from another model, the Ref 2512. The piece here offered has been realized in 18k white gold and is preserved in great conditions. The most important feature is the spectacular dial with white color and the central time display uses thin, leaf-shaped hands. Next are two large sub-dials. So large that they each overlap the respective Arabic numbers both above and below. The perfect combination of gold case, white dial, black lettering and gold details are sensational and this alone would be enough to make this watch unmissable. It is, furthermore, accompanied by its Extract from the archives confirming production of the present watch in white gold in 2002 and its subsequent sale on 26 March 2002.
