CHRONOGRAPH – REF. 5170J<br />

The Ref. 5170J is a truly classic chronograph. It comes in a yellow-gold case with a diameter of 39mm and possesses <strong>the</strong> CH 29-<br />

53 PS manufacture chronograph movement. Its case design uses <strong>the</strong> round Calatrava style with rectangular pushers that evoke<br />

Patek Philippe’s coveted vintage chronographs <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1940s. The new caliber within, a manual-winding two-pusher chronograph<br />

movement with column-wheel control and a horizontal clutch, was entirely developed in <strong>the</strong> brand’s workshops. It incorporates<br />

six patented inventions and beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph. The silvered white dial bears slim applied hour markers,<br />

yellow-gold applied Roman numerals at 12:00 and 6:00, and black transfer-printed scales.<br />
