Description
The Patek Philippe 1/10th of a Second Monopusher Chronograph ref. 5470P-001 is a marvel of mechanical horology, being the Manufacture’s first watch to allow an accurate 1/10th of a second reading.
This exceptional timepiece is powered by the Caliber CH 29-535 PS 1/10, a manual-winding chronograph movement meticulously crafted by Patek Philippe’s master watchmakers. This movement, which is an evolution of the brand’s split-seconds chronograph caliber, features multiple innovations from the “Advanced Research” department in order to efficiently measure 1/10th of a second. along with the inclusion of the Oscillomax regulating organ. This wide array of tools is what allows the 5470P-001 to excel at short-time measurement with precision and reliability.
The 41mm case is made of platinum as is indicated by the diamond inserted at 6 o’clock between the lugs. The beautiful blue dial is set with gold applied numerals and features 2 sub dials displaying a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and small seconds indication at 9 o’clock. The eye-catching central hand in red goes around the dial in 12 seconds, making it possible to display a tenth of a second with great legibility. The red accents on the dial, outer ring, central hand and strap give this watch a definite sporty look and bring about a sharp contrast with the blue shade.
This timekeeper is designed to be worn comfortably around your wrist with its stylish hand-stitched calfskin strap complete with a platinum fold-over clasp.
