Introduced in 2010, the Patek Philippe reference 5170 was made to supersede the iconic reference 5070. To be the first Patek Philippe timepiece fitted with a completely in-house movement, caliber CH 29-535 PS was a huge milestone for Patek Philippe. The new movement proved to be more accurate, stable and more streamlined in comparison to the previous Lémania movement.
While the movement of the watch has changed drastically, the aesthetics of it were kept classic. With inspiration drawn from early chronograph classics such as the reference 130 and 530, the case of the watch features a sophisticated Calatrava design and rectangular pushers
The present example of the reference 5170 cased in white gold is elegantly complemented by the sophisticated silvered opaline dial. Following Patek Philippe’s sophisticated design, the dial is further decorated with white gold Breguet numerals and an aesthetically pleasing pulsation scale.
Retailed by Tiffany & Co., the dial of the watch bears the double signature which elevates the rarity and desirability of this example.
