With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated 27 May 2010, solid platinum screw back numbered 4'490'893, white gold and wooden setting pin, instructions, original fitted veneered presentation box and outer packaging.
Reference 5970 was introduced to the market at the Basel Fair in April 2005 and replaced the celebrated reference 3970. The model immediately enjoyed enormous 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 has been available exclusively in platinum.
The present platinum version, in virtually mint condition and with all of its accessories originally supplied, is a premium example from this very exclusive series since it has never been offered in public before and comes from a very distinguished private collection. In fact, until today not even ten examples of reference 5970P have been offered at auction, underlining its rarity. Despite having only 2 years of age it is already today considered a great classic and will not only provide enormous pleasure on its future owner's wrist, but will also be a pillar in any collection focusing on Patek Philippe's history of complicated wristwatches.
