An article about the history of the Patek Chronographs, and the Ref 5070, since its unveiling in 1998. According to Nick Foulkes, the 5070 is an instant classic. Despite the fact that the conception of this watch was a bit daring, at that time, because of...

I love NF's writing style, as usual, though I still want to read this piece in his original English. Cheers ...
