As was the revelation that the 5970P would be quietly accompanied by a sibling reference: the ref. 5971P. The 5971P utilized the same platinum-case, black-dial formula as the 5970P but added an impressive setting of 36 flawless rare white Top Wesselton baguette-cut diamonds to the bezel that weighed approximately 4.37 carats in total. Diamonds were also added to the dial, to serve as the watch’s hour markers, and set onto the pin buckle.
The 5970P is considered to be one of the rarest and most collectible 5970 configurations, with an estimated production total of between 300 to 500 pieces. The ref. 5971 is much rarer, with some collectors and experts believing approximately 100 pieces were produced before it was discontinued and eventually replaced by the 5271P.
