Since introducing their first serially produced pure chronograph wristwatch via the ref. 130 in the 1930s, Patek Philippe has continued to create some of the most prized, valuable and impressive chronograph wristwatches throughout the decades. The introduction of the ref. 5070 in 1998 made headlines as it was the first pure chronograph released by the firm since the legendary ref. 1463. Initially released in yellow gold, it was made available in white gold pink gold and in 2008 a platinum version was released with a short production spanning until 2010 until it was replaced by the ref. 5170.

Taking its inspiration from the rare and desirable unique ref. 2512 featuring a 48mm diameter stepped case with applied Arabic numerals, the ref. 5070 is a modern-day homage to the elusive reference. At the time, the reference was one of the largest ever wristwatch produced by the firm. Extremely pure and exuding a classic chronograph dial configuration with two registers that are perfectly centered and aligned with the crown, the perfect proportion of the ref. 5070 is simply jaw dropping. Powered by the Lemania-based cal. CH 27-70, it was the last reference to utilize an outsourced movement making the reference a rare occasion that the world would probably never witness again. Throughout its course of production, it is estimated that 1,000 examples of the reference were encased each in yellow gold, white gold and pink gold, with only 500 examples encased in platinum.

Fresh-to-the-market and offered in excellent overall condition, the present example Patek Philippe ref. 5070P-001 from circa 2010 is complete with its full set of accessories and is further fresh-to-the-market.

The Patek Philippe ref. 5070 was first introduced at the 1998 Baselworld. Sending shockwaves across the board, this large 42mm wristwatch marked a momentous milestone for the firm as the first modern chronograph-only wristwatch since the release of ref. 1463. A worthy and highly anticipated successor to this classic chronograph, the ref. 5070 is fitted in a water-resistant case with a screw-down case back.

The reference 5070 enjoys a unique spot in Patek Philippe’s history as one of the largest watches it had produced and the last chronograph to use a modified, Lemania 2310-based ébauche before Patek Philippe switched to an in-house calibre. Despite its big case size, the relatively slim profile and downturned lugs lends the watch a sophisticated and comfortable presence on the wrist.

Introduced in a total of four different case materials, including yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum, the white gold variant was first introduced in 2001 and was discontinued in 2006 with approximately 1,000 examples produced in the respective metal. A stunning example, is the present Patek Philippe ref. 5070G-001 is the 92nd publicly known example and is accompanied by its original accessories and will be a fantastic addition to any collection.

Taking cues from the holy grail ref. 2512, the first series of the Patek Philippe ref. 5070 was released in the same handsome black-gold livery as its predecessor with distinct Art Deco influences. Around 1000 examples of the yellow gold black dialled variant were made between 1998 and 2002. Following the ref. 5070J, the second series consisted of the 5070R and 5070G, where both references enjoyed a production run of 6 years with approximately 1000 examples each. Finally, the platinum ref. 5070P was born in 2008, marking the final chapter on the model with an estimated 500 examples made.

An important reference in the history of Patek Philippe chronographs, the ref. 5070 was the last reference to employ the caliber 27-70 CHR based on the Lemania 2310 stamped with a Geneva seal. Retiring in 2009, the ref. 5070 made way for the ref. 5170, the first chronograph-only reference fitted with the firm’s very first in-house movement.

Divinely dressed in yellow gold, boasting a suave black dial with matching gold graphics and applied Arabic numerals, this configuration is arguably the most desirable in terms of its colour coordination and its homage to the legendary piece-unique ref. 2512. One of the firm’s most undervalued references, the present beautifully preserved example is from circa 1999 and is offered with its full set of accessories, including a rare wooden presentation box featuring a brass plaque with a Patek Philippe Paris Boutique designation. This is no doubt an irresistible chance for collectors to acquire an important Patek Philippe chronograph reference and the last to be stamped with a Geneva seal.

At the beginning of 2020, H. Moser & Cie introduced the Streamliner stainless steel flyback chronograph with a new aesthetic, inspired by early 20th century designs. Featuring a case with aerodynamic lines and a wave-like integrated bracelet to match, this model draws inspiration from the 1930s locomotives and has now become somewhat of a signature of the brand. Rather than corrupting the unobstructed blue fume dial display, the subsidiary minutes are thoughtfully placed on the outer edge of the canvas, which is very much in line with the manufacturer’s “less is more” philosophy. Upon activation, a white chronograph hand will travel around the dial, while a red counter hand moves along with each passing minute up to 60 minutes. This allows for a clean dial that is unimpeded by any subsidiary seconds.

Produced in very small quantities, the Streamliner Flyback Chronograph is an incredibly contemporary timepiece with a vintage appeal. The present example is offered in excellent overall condition, completed with its original guarantee and presentation box.
