Continuously in production to this day, the legacy of chronographs with perpetual calendars and moon phases commenced in 1941 with the legendary 1518, succeeded shortly after by the equally iconic 2499 in 1950 and subsequently by the 3970. In 2004, Thierry Stern introduced the 5970 as the successor to the revered reference 3970. Fast forward to 2011, and Patek Philippe unveiled the 5270 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph as the natural evolution from the 5970. While sharing a visual affinity with its predecessor, the 5270 is a meticulously redesigned timepiece, featuring a larger 41 mm case, a revamped dial with a distinct layout, and most notably, an entirely in-house developed movement—the CH 29–535 PS. Replacing the old Calibre 27–70 CH, the CH 29–535 PS retains a similar aesthetic while boasting groundbreaking technical advancements. The extraordinary pink-gold case presented here showcases elegance, coupled with a sophisticated black dial adorned with applied faceted gold baton indexes. Apertures for days of the week, months, moon phases, leap year, and day/night indications enrich the dial, complemented by gold feuille hands. The addition of contrasting elements such as the tachymeter scale, seconds track, chrono counter, small seconds, and date with white numerals ensures optimal legibility. Noteworthy details include sandblasted chronograph hands, round 30-minute chronograph sub-dial, round small seconds, and a bosom-shaped aperture for the moon phase indicator. Interestingly, the leap year indicator maintains a white background within a circular aperture instead of the traditional black. This offering encompasses an iconic piece of history, meticulously crafted for genuine enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
