Representing ultimate exclusivity, this noble diamond-set perpetual calendar chronograph affords collectors with the all too scarce opportunity to possess a superlative example of this astonishing timepiece - one of the classic and much admired rarities of Patek Philippe’s modern production. Set with 80 shaped and carefully matched baguette-cut diamonds of approximate 4.84 carats and a single baguette diamond as the 12 o’clock marker on the dial. The lacquer black dial with sunken sub-registers requires 12 coats of lacquer to achieve the richness of finish and depth of black colour demanded by Patek Philippe. In the last 20 years, the beauty and rarity of perfectly matched coloured precious stones has become more widely appreciated. For Patek Philippe, only perfection is acceptable. Always greatly admired and very impressive, the present reference 5271P-001 diamond-set platinum perpetual calendar chronograph was made in only a few examples and always a thrilling find for Patek collectors. Reference 5271 Patek Philippe unveiled the new reference 5271 at Baselworld in 2014, an updated variation of the Patek Philippe 5270 perpetual calendar chronograph. The reference 5271 is powered with Patek Philippe’s in-house calibre CH 29-535 PS Q and has been granted the new hallmark of excellence, the PP seal. The perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch is more closely associated with Patek Philippe than perhaps any other model other than the Nautilus. In fact, Patek Philippe were the first company to produce perpetual calendar chronographs in series, an achievement that no other manufacturer could match for almost half a century. The perpetual calendar chronograph was in many ways the complication that re-established and confirmed for the second half of the 20 th century Patek Philippe’s reputation as the greatest watch brand in the world. A reputation that is undimmed to the present day.
