Upon its introduction at the Basel Fair in April 2011, the impressive reference 5270 was the firm's first perpetual calendar chronograph to use a 100% in-house designed and manufactured movement. This model houses the celebrated caliber 29-535 PS with Patek Philippe's modern hallmark of excellence, the PP Seal.
The 5270 has several dial variants. The first has a railroad outer seconds track, larger Patek Philippe signature, and black oxidized gold baton numerals. The second variation introduced in late 2013 was available with both a silver as well as blue dial and introduced the tachymeter scale to the model, such as the present watch. Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of these dials is the dip in the outer seconds track at 6 o'clock. Often referred to as a 'chin dial,' this feature is characteristic of only this second generation 5270. In addition, the dial features legible circular apertures for day/night as wall as leap year indication, two windows for day and month, all housed within a large and attractive 41mm case.
The present watch comes with full accessories and is offered in very good overall condition. It provides a good opportunity for collectors to join the Patek perpetual calendar chronograph family.
