Few references better embody the understated perfection of vintage Patek Philippe than the legendary reference 570. Introduced in 1938 as the larger companion to the celebrated reference 96, it established the proportions of the modern gentleman's wristwatch decades before oversized cases became fashionable. Produced for over thirty years in remarkably limited numbers and in a wide variety of configurations, the reference 570 has become one of the cornerstones of serious Patek Philippe collecting. Offered here is an elegant reference 570 in yellow gold, preserved in remarkable and beautifully balanced condition. The generously proportioned case displays graceful, elongated lugs and houses a wonderfully clean silvered dial featuring applied Breguet numerals, faceted baton indexes and an understated subsidiary seconds register. The warm patina of the case perfectly complements the restrained aesthetics of the dial, while the minimalist design allows every proportion to speak for itself. Effortlessly elegant and endlessly wearable, this reference 570 epitomizes the timeless sophistication that has made it one of the most admired and enduring dress watches ever produced.
