Showcased earlier this year at Baselworld 2017, the classic Patek Philippe Ref. 5170 chronograph comes in a platinum case for the first time.
Joining the white-dial and black dial versions on Patek's catalogue, the new reference 5170P-001 is characterized by a blue sunburst dial radiated to black with the seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock and the instantaneously jumping 30-minute counter symmetrically positioned at 3 o'clock.
Colour of the dial apart, the new version differs for several details including the presence of the tachymeter scale, baguette diamond hour markers and sword-shaped hands in place of leaf hands.
The classic round case (diameter 39.4 mm, height 10.9 mm) houses the calibre CH 29-535 PS, an exceptional hand-wound chronograph movement based on the principle of the column wheel, here crowned with a polished cap.
The large four-spoke Gyromax balance wheel with four poising weights beats at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 semi-oscillations/hour) with a guaranteed power reserve of 65 hours (58 hours when the chronograph is activated).
The movement and its clutch lever, recognizable for the classic "S" shape, are visible through the sapphire crystal case back.
The movement also has a stop-seconds feature that makes it very convenient to accurately synchronise the watch with an official time signal when the crown is pulled.
Developed entirely in-house on the basis of traditional principles, this movement also embodies six patented innovations which improve precision, reliability and longevity.
Matched to a shiny black alligator strap with square scales and fold-over clasp, the Patek Philippe Reference 5170P-001 Platinum has a retail price of Swiss Francs 85,000. patek.com
