The elegance of the New Yellow Gold Patek Philippe Ref. 5270J-001
Most watches with several complications tend to be bulkier. However, the latest Patek Philippe Reference 5270J-001 features an intrinsically wearable yellow case. It measures 41mm in diameter and thickness of 12.4mm. Moreover, the case flaunts a mirror-polished concave bezel with the patented Art Deco-style stepped lugs.
- Three of the four correctors in between the strap and the case offer a sleeker look.
- However, you can see the weekday corrector at 10:30.
- The Reference 5270J-001 features a contemporary sapphire display case back.
- Interestingly, the watch also comes with an interchangeable solid case back.
The Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Ref. 5270J-001 watch houses the brand’s patented CH 29-535 PS Q movement. The fascinating fact is that it is the ever-first movement that the company manufactured, incorporating a perpetual calendar and a chronograph. Moreover, it features the conventional column wheel, horizontal clutch and Breguet balance spring with six unique, innovative technicalities.
Eventually, the perpetual calendar mechanism measures only a thickness of 1.65mm. However, the CH 29-535 PS Q delivers 55 to 65 hours of power reserve and a 28,800bph beat rate.

The Visually Learning Dial
The Patek Philippe Ref. 5270J-001 Perpetual Calendar features an overall traditional dial style featuring railroad scales for minutes and seconds. Moreover, the dial has yellow gold applied indexes and leaf hands, and small seconds & chronograph minutes sub-dials.
Interestingly, a single dial layout includes a day/night indicator, month/day pointer date, small seconds sub-dial, leap year cycle indicator and a moon-phase aperture. Yet, the dial does not look unbalanced or cluttered, attesting to the brand’s spectacular design artistry.
The watchmaker counterbalances every element with a matching counterpart on the opposite dial half. They placed the sub-dials of the 3 and 9 o’clock slightly beneath the dial’s centreline. However, the opaline silver dial base features a new combination of yellow gold indices and hands.
Patek Philippe equipped the Reference 5270J-001 with a matte honey brown leather strap and a yellow gold deployant clasp.
