In the Patek philharmonic chronograph family, Ref.5004 very iconic and representative, is the favorite of watch collectors, for its inventory, I believe we have waited can not wait.

Ref.5004 and Ref.3970 look similar, but the former is genuine double-chaser chronograph. The Ref.5004 case is still 36mm in diameter and has itself become a standalone collection by adding the double-chase timing module to the Lemania caliber to enhance technical and functional depth.

The integration of the perpetual calendar and the double-chasing timing mechanism is a challenge and an undertaking so Ref.5004 is also considered as one of the most important best luxury replica watches models in modern times. Ref.5004 was introduced in 1996 and it is estimated that it produces only 12 pieces per year until 2012, when Ref.5204, with its own movement, is replaced. As we know, the material Ref.5004 covers a variety of metals, now the most sought after is the early black dial platinum models.
Ultimate Ref.5004
It can be said that each Ref.5004 are the ultimate models. If you want to separate the level, the first thought must be Ref.5004A, are familiar with Patek Philippe all know the letter “A” refers to the “stainless steel case.” In November 2011, there are rumors that Patek Philippe will create the last 50 pieces of Ref.5004 stainless steel, the collection industry is crazy. Ref.5004 stainless steel models priced at more than 300,000 US dollars, the end of the table engraved with the owner’s name to curb the flow of second-hand. But it did not work, because it was not long before we saw the stainless steel version Ref.5004 at the auction.

For example, as shown in the picture above, the auctioneer produced $ 409,000 in Christie’s Hong Kong. In theory, the stainless steel Ref.5004 is a cool Patek Philippe watch, but releasing more than 50 pieces of stainless steel to meet the needs of customers is inevitably inflamed by Patek Philippe’s veteran players, some even feeling it anger. Consider, Ref.5004 production cycle is 15 years (1996-2011), with an average annual output of 12, a total of 180. Now, more than 50 pieces of stainless steel suddenly appear on the market, more than any other single piece of metal.

Some people will Ref.5970 called Patek Philippe best watch, some people think it is perfect, well-balanced, others say it is Patek Philippe watch the ultimate chapter of excellence. Ref.5970 was started in 2004 and was discontinued in 2011 with Ref.5270, a self-made movement, which lasted only seven years. It is also the shortest model in the Patek Philippe calendar chronograph. Ref.5970 case diameter of 40 mm, more modern, larger size dial incorporates the tachometer scale, with a completely different appearance of the previous model makes it particularly outstanding. Like Ref.3970 and Ref.5020, Ref.5970 features Lemania base movement. As the case diameter increases, so many people will say, compared to the early petite Ref.3970, Ref.5970 application balance wheel is better.

Is there any Ultimate Ref.5970? Again, each one is the ultimate Ref. 5970 although there is no similar stainless steel (Ref. 1518) or titanium (Ref. 5004). Next, to introduce an interesting story about Ref.5970, Patek Philippe replica diamond collectors should all be heard, but the details are not well known to everyone – that’s one (as mentioned in Ref.2499) Eric Clapton Ref.5970 watch. At the 2011 Italian Grand Prix, Eric Clapton wore a watch of white metal, Breguet digital dial. Although the specific details blurring difficult to distinguish, but it is undoubtedly a Ref.5970, and the dial and the production version varies.

In any case, Ref.5970 is called the pinnacle of modern watch collection, the introduction of the Patek Philippe calendar chronograph so far. The Ref.5270 and Ref.5204 with their own movement are still in production, and this article is not going to be introduced. It is precisely because of this, Patek Philippe calendar chronograph legend is not over.
