Lot Essay

Introduced at the Basel Fair in April 2011, reference 5270 succeeded the celebrated reference 5970 and marked an important milestone in the history of Patek Philippe’s perpetual calendar chronographs. Most significantly, it was the first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph by the manufacture to be powered by an entirely in-house designed and manufactured chronograph calibre.

Reference 5270 is equipped with the manually wound calibre 29-535 PS Q, based on the calibre 29-535 PS first introduced in 2009 with reference 5170. Combining a traditional column-wheel chronograph with a perpetual calendar mechanism, the movement represents a significant evolution from its predecessors and carries the Patek Philippe Seal.

Introduced in 2009, the Patek Philippe Seal established a new quality benchmark for the manufacture’s mechanical timepieces. Unlike standards concerned principally with the movement, the Seal applies to the complete assembled watch and encompasses criteria ranging from precision and technical performance to finishing and long-term reliability. It also embodies Patek Philippe’s commitment to servicing, repairing and restoring its timepieces throughout their lifetime, including watches produced since the manufacture’s foundation in 1839.

The condition of lots sold in our auctions can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their nature means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold "as is," in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Christie's or by the seller.

Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry or in a condition report will not amount to a full description of condition, and images may not show a lot clearly. Colours and shades may look different in print or on screen to how they look on physical inspection. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. Condition reports are provided free of charge as a convenience to our buyers and are for guidance only. They offer our opinion but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation because our staff are not professional restorers or conservators. For that reason they are not an alternative to examining a lot in person or taking your own professional advice. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any condition report.
