Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 5270G-001
One of the most coveted grand complication models in Patek Philippe’s well decorated history in watchmaking, the Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is perhaps the grail watch for many watch collectors.
Instantly recognisable, the 5270G-001 is a relatively rarer modern iteration of the complication due to its quick discontinuation in favour for the facelift in the form of the 5270G-013 with a slightly different dial configuration.

Our Thoughts:
Whilst we all love the sportier models in Patek Philippe’s lineup, this is what the brand is all about. The 5270G-001 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is the first perpetual calendar chronograph watch fitted with an all new in-house Patek Philippe movement, replacing the legendary Lemania ebauche that’s been the fundamental for many of the brand’s manual wounded complications. This watch is a testimony of how Patek Philippe have evolved as a brand, and their confidence in producing grand complications of the highest quality in-house.
What is extra special about this particular iteration is the short 3 years production in the form of the 5270G-001 which was replaced by in 2013 with a slightly different “chin” dial. Although the replacement seems like a mere facelift, there are quite a few subtle changes that modernises the design, and we think that there is so much to love about this particular reference that was only produced between 2011-2013. The blackened white-gold indices and hands on this particular watch is something rarely used in modern watchmaking and it really gives that neo-vintage look that we adore.
