From enthusiasts to collectors alike, all eyes were captured at Baselworld 2011 with the introduction of Patek Philippe Reference 5270G. The timepiece marked the latest iteration from the legendary Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph family that began with Reference 1518 in 1941.
Reference 5270 differentiates itself from its predecessor (Ref. 5970) by increasing the case diameter to 41mm while decreasing the case thickness by 1mm. Achieved through in-house caliber CH 29-535 PS Q, an additional feature of a day/night indicator further pushes the movement as an impressive feat of engineering. The subsidiary registers are playfully lowered just below the central axis. Reference 5270G is a wonderful companion to compliment contemporary wrists.
