A Case for the Lemania-Pateks
Over the last decade of collecting, I've become fascinated with Lemania based chronographs manufactured by Patek. This post is about 4 references and my thoughts on those watches. What are they? Lemania-Pateks are essentially (leaving one out :)) four modern discontinued references that once featured prominently in the Patek Philippe catalog: 3970, 5004, 5070 and 5970. All four references are manual winding chronographs and have a base caliber movement created by Lemania (CH27-70 in 5070, CH27-70Q in 3970 / 5970 and CHR27-70Q in 5004).

Lemania made movements and other components for a number of historically important watches, including early omega speedmasters (Caliber 321).
