The 5270P, the spiritual successor to what is arguably Patek’s most impactful watch lineage (the 1518, 2499, 3970, and 5970), has undergone more iterations than any of its predecessors. Patek even went so far as to include watches that would normally have been off-catalog releases (the 5271P with diamonds or emeralds) in the main collection. Two of those dials, the red and blue dials, now shed their gems and are available as standard releases from the Maison.
There are twists, however. Now, the dials feature standard tachymeter scales and shorter pyramid hour markers in some places, since the dial space is a bit more crowded. But, in a move that pairs well with the nearly-matching the 5236P, the 5270P-015 now comes with a grey sunburst dial that is probably the most interesting and reserved of all of past and present releases. The specs otherwise remain the same, but it’s quite a change from the older salmon dials. The watches retail for $248,813.
