Lot Essay

Patek Philippe Ref. 5971 was introduced to the market in 2007 produced in platinum only. Deriving from the highly complicated Ref. 5970, which is one of the successors of the mythical Ref. 2499, the spectacular Ref. 5971 not only continues to highlight the technical excellence of the manufacture’s complications, the bejeweled timepiece also showcases Patek Philippe as a master jeweller by underlining the expertise of their artisans in gem shaping, polishing and setting.

Fitted with 36 baguette diamonds of the finest quality weighing approximately 4 carats and produced in a very limited series, this stunning reference 5971 will always be considered a timeless coveted treasure of high horology.
