While in production now for less than a decade, the model features an evolution, with so far three recognized series. The present example is a representative of the frst series. First series: the hands and numerals are black, ofering the highest legibility among all the three series. The dial features railway minute divisions combined with Arabic fve minutes division - a confguration typical of the 1940s, where this line of timepiece fnds its genesis - and lacks the tachymeter scale, giving the impression of a large dial. It was produced from 2011 to 2013.

The perpetual calendar chronograph with moon phases line of timepieces is regarded as one of the most historical of Patek Philippe. In fact, it is the only set of complications which has been serially produced without a break from the 1940s until today. The present reference 5270, is the ffh iteration of this model, launched in 2011. It was preceded by reference 5970 (2004 - 2011), reference 3970 (1987 - 2004). reference 2499 (1949 - 1987) and reference 1518 (1940 - 1951).

Second series: in production from 2013 to 2015, the hand and numerals are now a more classic white and the tachymeter scale has been added. The scale follows the contour of the subsidiary seconds counter creating what is now known as “The Chin”, a feature which prompted some American collectors to name this iteration “The Leno”, afer Jay Leno, one of the most famous and prominent entertainer of American TV. Third series: the iteration currently in production. The white numerals and hands are unchanged, but the tachymeter scale now stops where it intersects the running seconds subsidiary dials, a solution inspired by reference 2499. The present watch is ofered in excellent condition and complete of its original sale kit. Considered the remarkable aesthetic diference of the black numerals and hands, the improved legibility they provide and the short production run, the frst series 5270 is surely destined to follow in the tracks of its hallowed predecessors (one above all, reference 2499 frst series) and become a highly collectible variation.
