Patek Philippe Rare Watches

Patek Philippe Quietly Updates The Look Of Its Benchmark 5270G Perpetual Calendar Chronograph With Two New Dials

The perpetual calendar chronograph is THE watch from Patek Philippe.  The lineage in this particular combination of complications is really the patrimony par excellence, and today, Patek Philippe quietly updated its heir to this great line, the 5270G, with two new dials.
The 5270G is the completely in-house perpetual chrono, where as the 5970, 3970, 2499, and 1518 all used external ebauches, in most cases from Lemania.  It was launched at Basel World 2011, and has not been met with the same success its immediate predecessors saw, which raised questions about if Patek would update the watch, at the very least for the 175th anniversary coming next year.
