Perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatches were first introduced by Patek Philippe in the early 1940s, since then it has become one of the most admired and valued complications in the scope of watch collectors. While its past icons such as the very first of them all ref. 1518, the one that replaced it ref. 2499 have paved its way for future references to come, it was not until the ref. 5270 that Patek Philippe incorporated their very first in-house perpetual calendar chronograph movement cal. CH29-255 PS Q. First released in 2011, the Patek Philippe ref. 5270 takes on a contemporary appeal to the iconic complicated perpetual calendar chronograph by incorporating a newly refined dial compared to its previous ref. 5970. Furthermore, with a movement stamped with the firm’s seal replacing the Geneva seal, the strategic decision allowed for increased control over production chain as well as the manufacturer being able to increase the value on quality control. Introduced in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum, it was in 2018 that Patek Philippe released the variant with the stunning champagne “salmon” dial with blackened gold applied Arabic numerals and blackened feuille hands matching perfectly with its black painted registers and accents. Just recently discontinued by Patek Philippe with a production spanning 4 years, the ref. 5270P-001 has been replaced by the new ref. 5270P-014 with a green dial, no longer available from the boutiques making this a wonderful example to add to one's collection.
