The reference 5070 was launched in 1998 and it was the first manual-wind, pure chronograph from Patek in over 30 years. Its nearest relative is the iconic Ref 1463. The Ref 5070 doesn’t look that much like its predecessor, particularly with a 42 mm case and a dramatically thick, stepped bezel: in fact it took the inspiration in part from another model, the Ref 2512. The piece here offered has been realized in 18k yellow gold and is preserved in great conditions. The most important feature is the spectacular dial with black color and the central time display uses thin, leaf-shaped hands. Next are two large sub-dials, so large that they each overlap the respective Arabic numbers both above and below. The perfect combination of gold case, black dial, gold lettering and gold details are sensational and this alone would be enough to make this watch unmissable.
