Notes

Patek Philippe debuted reference 5270 at the 2011 Basel Fair as the successor to the 5970. It is the most recent model from the celebrated line of perpetual calendar chronographs, which began in 1941 with reference 1518, produced by the renowned fi rm. Taking a slightly new design direction, reference 5270 is the fi rst perpetual calendar chronograph by Patek Philippe to feature registers that are not centered on the dial.
