Following on the legacy of its sibling the 5970P, this very rare discontinued model – the reference 5971P – is the gem-set upgrade featuring a platinum case which houses the last non-manufacture perpetual calendar movement, based on a Lemania \u00e9bauche although heavily modified and finished by Patek Philippe. It is considered to be one of the best designed cases by the Genevian watchmaker.<\/p>\n

Nestled within an elegant platinum case measuring 40mm in diameter, the fantastic black dial with white inscriptions and diamond hour markers offers great legibility for its many functions. The perpetual calendar function is displayed by three counters : a 30 minutes counter with leap years indicator at 3 o’clock, date with moon-phase indication at 6 o’clock, and small seconds with 24 hours display at 9 o’clock. The day of the week and the month are displayed in the double window at 12 o\u2019clock. The 40mm case is set with 36 baguette-cut diamonds and the pin buckle wasn\u2019t forgotten, it is also adorned with 6 baguette-cut diamonds.<\/p>\n

The 5971P is an extremely rare example set with diamonds and produced in a very small quantity. Amongst purists, the 5970 collection is perhaps the most desirable in all aspects. Only few hundred pieces of the 5971P are estimated to have been made before its replacement by the 5271P.<\/p>\n

For the history, the lineage of the 5970 goes back to the great-great grandfather reference 1518 (1941-1954), followed by the reference 2499 (1950-1985), the reference 3970 (1985-2004), the reference 5970 (2004-2010) and finally the current production model on the Patek Philippe catalogue – the reference 5270.<\/p>\n

This watch is powered by the manual-winding Caliber CH 27-70Q, based on a Lemania ebauche.
\nThe perpetual calendar chronograph movement, offering a 60-hour power reserve, is visible through the sapphire crystal case-back.<\/p>\n

Offered with its full original set of paperwork; warranty certificate with brochure and box.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Patek Philippe & Co. was founded in 1839, located in Geneva and the Vall\u00e9e de Joux. It designs and manufactures timepieces and movements, including some of the most complicated mechanical watches.

\nIn 1868, Patek Philippe made their first wristwatch, which was sold on November 13, 1876 to the Hungarian Countess.
