Why We Love it

Patek Philippe has sat atop the horological mountain for going on two centuries, having earned near-universal acclaim for their proficiencies in designing, engineering, and manufacturing some of the most exquisite timepieces the world has ever seen. 

The celebrated maison has a tradition of creating watches that transcend generations. Leaning on the pillars of timeless design, refinement, and mechanical ingenuity, there’s arguably no other manufacture that does it better. 

One of the most legendary of complications for Patek Philippe is the chronograph. Manually wound chronographs are some of the most difficult to produce properly. After the discontinuation of the 1463 in the mid 20th century, Patek had no manually wound chronograph in the collections. Then, in 1998, the brand presented the reference 5070. Modern in proportions at 42mm, and utilizing a much smaller movement (a buildout of the Lemania 2310), Patek filled the extra dial space with added scales around the perimeter of the broad dial. 

The 5070 was bold in its proportions, and the market didn’t initially fall for it. Over time, however, the small production numbers, and perfect sizing by modern standards allowed the watch to go on to enjoy one of the most legendary collecting statuses in the neo-vintage Patek marketplace. 

This particular 5070 is one of the most rare, executed in yellow gold with a black dial. A true collector’s gem, for lovers of collectible Patek, this is a holy grail.

Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe is one of the oldest watch manufacturers in the world with an uninterrupted watchmaking history. Few international luxury brands carry the gravitas of their name, and for good reason. The firm's commitment to excellence in horological manufacture is unflinching, and their track record of innovation in design without peer. They continue to lead the industry, and even their fiercest competitors have nothing but the utmost respect for the company.

From the simple elegance of their Calatrava line to the stunning study in miniaturization that is reference 1518 perpetual calendar to the modern reference 5750P chiming watch, Patek’s catalog is chock full of some of the most elegant and complicated timepieces ever made. Family-owned and completely independent, the firm has the freedom to do what it wants — such as discontinue one of the world’s most beloved steel luxury sport watches, the reference 5711 — when it wants.

Owning a Patek Philippe is for many the ultimate goal of timepiece collecting, and for a certain type, the only timepieces they collect. Whichever way you look at it, there is no questioning the elegance of design, superlative manufacture of their cases and movements, or the sheer elegance and emotion that comes from owning one.

Of course for a brand that is steeped in heritage, we are told “You never actually own a Patek Philippe…”

Well, you know the rest.
