Best known for their Grand Complications watches Patek Philippe masters the \u201cHaute Horlogerie\u201d and are arguably the best in the industry.
\n<\/span>In 1989, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the manufacture, Patek Philippe developed what is one of the most complicated portable timepiece in the world: the Calibre 89 with 33 complications but half a century ago in 1932 they had built the \u201cHenry Graves Supercomplication\u201d which had at that time 24 complications, including Westminster chimes, a perpetual calendar, sunrise and sunset times, and a celestial map of New York as seen from Graves\u2019s apartment on Fifth Avenue.
\nFor decades they did held the title of the most complicated watches built.\u00a0Mastering their craft they perpetuated the skills and traditions to deliver in their current collection pieces of the highest quality.<\/p>\n

Successor to the line of perpetual calendars, such as the reference 3970 and 5970, the 5270 was launched in 2011 at Baselworld.
\nInitially in white gold, followed by rose gold (5270R white dial) in 2015 and since late 2018 a platinum version (salmon dial) has been released.
\nThree dial variations were quietly introduced for the 5270G white dial (-001 -013 -018) and two for the blue dial version (-014 -019).
\nVery few people know of its existence but a white gold 50 pieces limited edition (-015), white dial with blue chronograph hand and blue tachometer was released in 2013 for their retailer in Munich, Germany.<\/p>\n

1st dial variation (-001 white): produced between 2011 and 2013, white (silvery opaline) dial with black gold hands and numerals, certainly the most legible among all three dial variations, the lack of tachymeter scale gives the impression of a much bigger dial.
\n2nd dial variations (-013 white -014 blue -015 white) produced between 2013 and 2015, the hands and numerals are now in a more classical white gold and the tachymeter scale has been added, the scale follows the contour of the subsidiary seconds counter creating what is known as \u201cThe Chin\u201d, a rather polarizing subject among collectors.
\n3rd variations (-018 -019) produced between 2015 and 2017, the hands and numerals are still in white gold but the tachymeter scale now stops at the intersection of the seconds subdial, this \u201cChin-less\u201d dial was more appreciated by collectors.<\/p>\n

*<\/strong>The present watch is the beauty pageant of the 5270 series, under reference\u00a05271P, the main difference from its other siblings is its bezel and lugs are set on the standard collection model with with 58 baguette diamonds but this is the out of catalogue piece 5271\/13P-001<\/strong>, lavishly adorned with 80 emerald baguettes (3.57 ct.)\u00a0to subtly match the setting, the\u00a0fold-over clasp is set with 22 baguette emeralds (~0.97 ct).
\nA black lacquered dial with matching green chronograph hand also completes this gem of a timepiece.<\/p>\n
