Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

The present reference 5970 is distinguished by its excellent overall condition and presence of all the original accessories. To the best of our knowledge, it has never been offered in public before. It is believed that less than 500 pieces were produced in platinum of which only 39 came back to the market since launch.

Reference 5970
Reference 5970 was introduced to the market at the Basel Fair in April 2005 and replaced the celebrated reference 3970. The model immediately enjoyed great 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. Since 2008, the model was available exclusively in platinum.

At the 2011 Basel Fair, the reference 5970 was replaced by the smaller reference 5270 which additionally has a day/night indication on the dial, as well as a separate leap year cycle and is equipped with the in-house caliber CH 29-535 PS Q.
